what does it mean when a car is totaled?

Does the insurance just decide your car is totaled and that’s it? Can you appeal? What are the consequences of having a car being declared totaled?

If the cost to repair is more than the value of the car, the car is totaled because it is cheaper for them to give you the value of the car than repair the car. No you can’t appeal this, you can get a second opinion on the cost to repair but it is likely going to be the same story.

It will also need to be inspected by the dmv to see if it is road safe before getting a salvage title IIRC
