Question about my wreck.?

i was recently in a wreck. I noticed when they where dragging it onto the tow truck the front wheel was sheered off the transmission(front wheel drive) and the wheel was smashed under the door. The suspension was still attached but had been bent back with the wheel. The suspension is attached to the top of the wheel well so I assume it bent the top of the wheel well. Would this type of structure damage make it a total loss? If not what type of structure damage would make it a total loss. Plus if there are any body shop guys out there, what is your best guesstimate on replacing, painting and labor for the front end, hood, quarter panel, wheel, tire and all the rest of the damage that goes along with a wheel being broken off a transmission on a fwd 2007 Ford Escape.

Depends on the value of the car, and the extent of the damage.
Since the front wheel was in the door, this more than likely has a bent frame, and would result in the replacement of the whole front suspenstion, possible transmission damage if the axle broke in the trans, all the body work and supports.
I would bet very likely that this will be a bought out by the insurance company because the cost to repair it would be almost close to the value of the replacement.
they will offer you blue book value, and take possestion, and sell the car to a junk yard where they will part it out..

The insurance company declares the car a "total loss" when they determine that it would cost more to repair it than simply to give you a check for it. Only an insurance agent from the company which carries your policy can tell you what the company's rules are, since every company works with different formulas and methods of determining "total loss."

Just from what I have read on what you have written, it sounds like a complete write off. You will have to probably pay a lot in order to get your vehicle fixed.
