I'm not an expert but look at your pic, the damage doesn't look that bad.

It probably depends on the value. I've seen a 10 year old minivan totaled when it got a 3 foot long slice in the sliding door and a 1" puncture in the fender. Insurance companies get their figures off of new parts and professional installation. So it's very easy to total an older car. :/

Can you give us info on the car? Year and model to be exact.
Looking at it this might be more than the car is worth so I think theres a chance it will be written off. btw did she back into you then keep going? cause thats huge damage for a backing in accident

It is a 2003 Civic SI with roughly 120k miles and hail damage. Other damage that happened include the rear bumper and part of the front, so it theres 500+ alone on the front and rear |

Cost of repair vs value of the car. I'd say totaled for sure.

It's really (Cost of Repair) + (Salvage Value) <= (Car Value)
Here's a good explanation from Progressive.

The issue is the value of the car. Ep3s aren't worth much since they are the least desirable civic si. Rear qtr damage is also expensive to fix. To do it right at a good shop that's $3k plus of damage so IMO there's a good chance it'll be totaled.

Just what I was thinking.
