Of course this is repairable but your claim adjuster interest is to salvage your wreck for parts.
I am sorry, I am not very car knowledgeable. Do you mind explaining to me what is the thing that is torn (last 2 images) is that the chassis?
Also do you have any advice for when I go to the repair shop? I want to be as involved as possible to make sure my car returns to the way it was...
Where are you from and where is the car located? In my state, if repairs exceed 85% of the replacement value of the car, the insurance company must declare it a total loss. Key words are “replacement value” and “total loss”.
"Replacement value" is typically determined by the insurance company by finding similar cars (mileage, options, color, etc.) for sale near you or obtainable by you, and taking an average of the sale prices. Watch this very closely before agreeing to accepting the offer. We don’t know how this happened, but even if you are found at fault, you have been paying insurance premiums for coverage, regardless of fault. This may change if you are charged with DUI/DWI — read your insurance policy closely.
“Total loss” does not mean the car is unrepairable, just that it costs more than 85% of the replacement value to repair it. If you love the car and it is fully repairable and it costs 90% of the value, you may get the insurance company to proceed with repairs. Remember, if they total the car, they need to pay you 100% of the replacement value.
