How can a police officer estimate damages?

I don't think what he writes is going to have any impact on how geico proceeds. It will be what their evaluator determines the damage is, which will be well over $9k.

They always do, usually just for order of magnitude things. As long as he didn't write down $300, you're fine.

Correct, the estimator from the insurance and/or bodyshop will determine the amount of damage and if it is total loss.

The insurances company has a formula that is the amount of the damage against the current value of the car... that will determine if is total loss or not.

However I would not want my car fix after that type of damage.

glad you are okay

Well it is a sport car and the insurance will be higher depending of many factor...the % of accident will definetely be one of those factors.

About 45ish. However, the road was really slick (It's been raining HARD the last 7-10 days here in Florida. It was really a shock that the car lost control, I wasn't driving crazy by any means. I really am
hoping they will total it. I read online that I may be able to buy the car back from Geico at a small price. I'm thinking that may be the thing to do as I could part out wheels, seats, etc. Adjuster is looking at it Wednesday post-teardown so we'll see.
