A buddy of mine got hit last month, which caused damage to the front bumper, headlight/foglight, passenger fender and door. They cut him an initial check for the repairs. But once at the body shop and they actually came out to inspect it, they're now telling him it's totaled. Body shop says there is no frame damage and it's purely cosmetic.
Is it possible to talk an insurance company into not totaling out a car due to a part supply issue?
