The other drivers insurance wanted to take possession of the car. My insurance might take possession of it because it has been totalled. But the damage done by the other driver will go unsolved.
It is unclear what your question is based on the details given. Sounds like the vehicle was totaled twice. If your vehicle is a total loss you have two options: keep the vehicle with the deduction for the salvage value or at the insurance company take it for the actual cash value. If you have two accidents in the vehicle was declared a total loss in the first accident, the insurance company and the second accident will not have to pay full value. They will only have to pay for the acctual cash value of the previously totaled vehicle. This amount is likely the salvage value that you retain. Hope this helps.
