The definition of a totaled car is when the repair cost of the vehicle exceeds the actual value of the vehicle. Hence, although it is unadvisable, it is possible for an auto body shop to fix a totaled car, depending on how severe the damage was.
A car is considered "totaled" if the cost of repairs is equal to, or greater than, the blue book value of the vehicle.
Full coverage auto insurance covers everything. If the car is totaled they will will replace it. Liability auto insurance will only cover medical bills, and not the car if it is totaled.
Total loss payoff
Either the cars owner or the insurance company who paid for the totaled vehicle
Normally if the estimated damage is 75% of the value of the vehicle, it will be considered a total loss. The reason for this is that there may be hidden damage that only appears after the repairs are initiated. This varies, depending on your insurance carrier.
It will depend on the cost to repair.
Technically yes because you probably ruined or damaged the engine.

What. Why would you think this is required? An insurance company will not find you a new vehicle is your is totaled, they will pay you the actual cash value of the vehicle you had.
this depends on the laws of the state you live in. contact your local DMV.
Depends on the car. If it's totaled and not driveable, probaby 10-20% of the value of a comparable clean car.
