depending on the brand, age,mileage and condition of your car. if the repair cost exceeds 75% of the acv (actual car value) the car is then totaled. if you owe on this vehicle then the insurance company will pay for the acv. meaning if you paid 20000 for it and owe 12000 and the vehicle is worth 15000 they will send you a check for 3000 plus licence and tax fees paid

if the cost of repairing the car to a safe standard exceeds the value of the car then yes...in most cases I think it's 80% of the value of the car...either way from what you describe it sounds as though it's totaled.

that is totally up to the insurance company and the way the determine that is the repairs cannot precide 75% of the vehicle worth.

it is up to the insurance company........if its up to ur window then i think its totalled but i dont really know how bad it looks like.......call your insurance company and tell them then they will get someone to come over and see if its totalled or not.
