If you decide to accept the whole amount 4099.00, you will have to sign and send the insurance company the title. Once they receive the title, they should send you the check within a week.
My neighbor just went through this. He received his check from the insurance company within a few days of the insurance company receiving the title.

On a side note: Know that the title is an official document, and the insurance company will not release the full amount for the car if they don't get the title! The insurance company told my neighbor to send the title certified mail, which we did. Know that there is no way a post office can trace certified mail (much to my surprise), and it took almost 2 weeks for the insurance company to get it! He would have had to apply for a duplicate title if the mail had lost it!! I suggest spending the extra 10-15 dollars to Express Mail next day. THAT the post office can trace.

you'll have to ask your insurance company. they're all different, and different branches do things differently.

When I totaled my car it took 2 weeks to get my payment. I could have got the car back but I wouldn't have been able to get insurance on it because the insurance company wrote it off as unfixable...

Just make sure that they will insure it again if you do get it fixed if not let them dispose of the car and take the 4 grand to buy another one.
