Default My Accident and Fix (pics inside)

I was headed to work this morning and this guys just pulled right in front of me (he was trying to make a left turn). I did not even had the time to press the brake (I don't remember) and here is the result....

I'm ok. The weird thing is the passenger side airbag went off without anybody there. I thought the passegner side airbag was not suppose to deploy if no ones there. I think the car is totaled, how much do you think will the insurance compensate me? I only had 15,003 miles on it.

That sucks! Sorry to hear about the accident dude. Hopefully they'll total it, if not there will be a lot to be fixed.

We both have insurance. I will refuse to take it back if it is not totaled by the adjustor because I know as an engineer they can't make it the same.

Wow I'm so sorry. Hope you're alright and continue to feel okay. I assume thats the other persons car in the back ground. Looks pretty bad. Sorry to hear and see something like this. I totaled my old Lexus so my heart goes out to. Wish you the best in the future
