not unless she is good with the repair costs and convincing the Insurance company to not issue a salvage title. A totaled car will never drive the same without a LOT of work, besides, it is a civic. Dump it in the recycle bin and start over.

Was it your grandma's or the truck drivers fault? If it was his wouldn't his insurance have to pay for a new car?

Nice people get the short end of the stick and the only ones that make out are the insurance companies. Screw em. Sue the crap outta them. After all it is the new American pastime.

Don't bother repairing the car...it'll never be the same again. Tell your mom to upgrade, and get a lawyer.

Totals are rarely worth repairing. Just take the $$ and get something else.


Regarding being nice to the insurance co....??? why? they are going to try and give you the ABSOLUTE minimum for the car. Get a lawyer and get what you deserve.
