Yeah getting into an accident sucks big time. I was a student and dealing with school and insurance at the same time drained me. Talk to the person doing the appraisal and ask for an estimate, but also ask what they checked out. My appraisal was quick enough because the front end was just destroyed. The guy basically looked at mine and told me "I'm not even going to bother with breaking the engine/tranny down because there's already going to be damage to it." Find out everything you can about your vehicle, then talk to the insurance company. See how much they would offer you if it is totaled and go from there. Once the bill hits close to $16500, then they'll declare it a loss. It's an experience and you'll be ready next time, God forbid, if it does happen again.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
