Can an insurance company amendment their mind after my vehicle be deem totaled?

I was in an calamity where i rearended someone, the damage to my motor was pretty extensive. The insurance company told me that it was a total loss and to contact my nouns company. I did and they told me to contact my gap insurance, which I did. The next light of day I spoke to the adjuster who now says my vehicle is fixable and provided me with an estimate without the airbags included. They stated that a different company would enjoy to deal with the airbags once I started the repairs on the vehicle. This sounds kinda shady to me. Now that I hold asked for a full estimate with the including of my airbag estimate they are not being exceedingly nice. I know that once I start repairs on the vehicle I am agreeing with the settlement so my question is....are they allowed to changeover their mind once they have deemed it totaled?
Answers:
If they put it surrounded by writing i think they would be. If just conversation, probably not.
I guess they are allowed to change their minds. I don't believe there are any law against that but I suppose it depends on what actions, if any, occurred between the first verdict and their last decision. Did them varying their mind cause you expense ? Cause you damage? motive you pain or suffering? If it did, then profile a report with your Insurance commissioner and/or your consumer protection people
If the estimate to repair the vehicle did not exceed 75% of the car's Actual Cash Value, consequently it was not a total. Yes, they can change their mind.

When you be advised it was a total, have the insurance company's appraiser already inspected it, or was it the claims rep who thought it may be totaled based on the description you give him/her? Source(s): Claims - 21 years
