Opinions would be greatly appreciated on the extent of the damage. I am hoping it will not be totaled. Left side airbags as well as driver seat airbag deployed. Thank you in advance!

Here are a few more pictures

That looks right on the line to me. If it were me I'd be hoping for it to be totaled. "Fixed" cars are never the same in my opinion.

Hate to say it, but I don't see anything which would indicate a finding of "totaled" .

If the front door is fine and still aligned, I think it is repairable. Still, it needs side airbags, seat cover?, and a head liner. Also Accords have high resale value. Let us know the $ amount.

Thanks for the input! The kbb value was a little over $16000 but that isn't taking into account that it is a base model with leather seats. And yes, the seat airbag deployed as well.

A totaled car means the cost of repairing is greater than the value of the vehicle. It depends on what needs to be repaired.

I think that your car is close to being totaled. If the frame is bent, then expect it to be totaled.

I just hope everyone was/is ok?

Hard to tell from the pic's but to me it looks like the rear door is the only real body/metal damage....yea the air bags and that will have to be replaced.

Not sure but I think some states have a different laws....meaning I think here in NC is the damage is more than half the value of the car it is considered "totaled"

It depends on the adjuster. It's not if they can fix it, it's if want to fix it. I'm working on an 05 Mercury Milan that was bought total. Just needs front bumper, headlight, marker light, fender, rim, spindle, and lower control arm. Also needs small dent in the dorm done. I have seen many cars that don't need a lot of work listed as total loss. The bad part is that a car with salvage/reconstruction on the title makes it worth half of what it would be IF you can get someone to buy it.
