Buying Your Vehicle Back Following A Car Accident Or Motorcycle Accident

 
Another option on a totaled vehicle is to buy it back from the insurance company. You get the fair market value, less the salvage value. The insurance company figures the amount of money they would receive from a salvage yard. You would pay that amount by having it deducted from the total value of the damages, and then you can have your car repaired at your expense. In those circumstances, your car is generally re-titled so that the title shows the car had at one time been deemed a total loss. When you receive the cash, it is your responsibility to clear up towing, storage and repair costs and dispose of or repair the car.
