Jake should get the replacement value of the car plus any expenses he incurred as a result of the accident.
I can understand this. I've never had a car totaled and was backed into one time.

So who decides if it gets fixed for $6k (hypothetically) or replaced for $12k? Not sure you can insist it be totaled?
