Default Accident
I was struck in the front panel of my new F150. They say that the frame is bent. Can it be straightened or is it a total loss?

what did the insurance company say? they are the ones who make the decision. It usually won't total unless it is 70%-80% of the vehicle value

Picture..?
Who said the frame is bent? Ford dealer body shop, or independent body shop?
Got it in writing, or “they” gave it to you verbally?

you can't "push it" to be totaled, unless you pony up and pay the difference
