Car Insurance Advice

jmd

My car has been involved in an accident, through no fault of my own, another driver lost control & skidded on to my path. One machanic thinks the Insurance Company will write it off, (Mileage 100K year 2000) another says it's repairable. Front wheel partly off, wing, bumper and bonnet damage. The Insurance Accessor will decide it's fate on Monday. What is the situation. If it's written off -
(1) Is it still my property or does it become the property of the Insurance Company,

(2) Can I collect the "written off " value & have it repaired.

I've never been in this situation before, so any advice would be appreciated.

jmd - you will probably get a lot better advice/knowledge over in the Motors Forum. Insurance questions are fairly common.
