If they total out the car, they are effectively buying the car from you and title goes to them. If they then sell it to you as salvage, then I would think that they have to list it on title as salvage.

Now that being said, I had a car that was rear ended and when I settled with the insurance company (other persons company) I asked them to adjust the amount paid to me to cover the "salvage" amount and since title never changed, the title stayed with me as clean title
