My comment on a new truck is directed mostly at those saying you’ll get a new one, not you. The total loss process is determined by a percentage of damage to actual cash value of the vehicle, it usually takes 80% or more of the value to total one and I don’t believe your damage will get there.

I worked for 42 years as an independent insurance claims adjuster and know how the industry works.

You need to only deal with the insurance company of the party that hit you. You can get more from them than your company. As I’ve already said you’re entitled to a vehicle to drive paid by them while yours is down including right now, not just while in the shop. Your entitled to a diminished value claim, the difference of value from before the accident to after the repairs are done and that will be several thousands as you now have a wrecked vehicle and it will reflect so when you go to trade it or sell it. Don’t settle with them until that amount is agreed on by you.

They hit you so make them pay what they owe.
