When a vehicle is found to be a total loss and the insurance provider takes possession of the car normally they sell it to a junkyard for scrap, sell it for parts, or if it can be repaired sell it at an auction as a salvage car.
The monies the insurance provider receives for the car help offset the cost of the claim they paid out for the car being declared a total loss.
Insurance providers guidelines will dictate what your insurance carrier would do with a totaled vehicle. You can contact the insurance regulatory body for state law information and your car insurance carrier’s agent in in Jonesboro, Arkansas for data on their internal guidelines.
One of the best ways to lower your annual premiums is to have a higher deductible amount.. Like a $1,000, is what I carry personally.
Now, if you are a claim free and safe driver like I am, you could be saving a ton of money each year on your premiums. People fail to realize that the deductible amount is only paid when they file a claim and their insurance company pays that claim.
Ask for discounts, you never know what you might be able to get and how much you can save by asking. Some popular discounts can be given for:
1. Military personnel
2. Good grade students
3. Union membership and bank member affiliations
4. Safe drivers with no claims in last 7 years
5. Defensive driving school attendance
6. Clean credit history – used by many carriers to determine payment risk
Will Utah Auto Insurance Policy Pay For At Fault Accident
Reader’s Question:
I still have a lot of questions about auto insurance because I will buy a new car that needs to be insured. I live in West Valley City, Utah and if I get into a car accident, will my insurance cover the damage even if I was the one who caused the accident?

It’s a good thing that the state of Utah uses a No-fault car insurance system. This means that your insurance company would make payments up to a certain limit for your injury claims and you will be indemnified for losses by your insurance company regardless of who is at fault the accident. You (and your passengers) will not only be reimbursed by your insurance company without proof of fault, but you will also be restricted in the right to seek recovery through the civil-justice system for losses caused by other parties.
You have to be aware of the various details of the No-Fault system and the best way to do that is to check with your state insurance regulator. The goal of no-fault insurance is to lower the premium costs by avoiding expensive litigation over the causes of accidents and to provide quick payments for injuries. But critics of the no-fault system argue that it doesn’t punish reckless or negligent drivers sufficiently through jury awards or legal settlements.
Another disadvantage is that no-fault system could have a high car insurance premium than other jurisdictions. But you could still be able to get the lowest auto insurance premium in Utah by shopping around and the best way to do that is to get an online rate quote from this website.
Who’s Auto Insurance Company Should Pay After a Collision?
Reader question:
Me and my girlfriend bought a car together, and she co signed. We are no longer going out and haven’t been for awhile, and I think she moved out of state. But last week I got into an auto insurance collision and my vehicle was declared a total loss, so now I have to replace it. Am I allowed to do that without her permission?
Mike
Thank you for your question, Mike.
There would be no problem at all with you being able to get a new car if she co signed for the old one with you. You might come up against problems if the thing that you were trying to do was sell the car, because as long as her name is on the vehicle’s title, a transfer of title does require the consent of both parties. However, that is not the case with you, so I advise you not to worry.
