The insurance company has already sent me a communication. They sent me inconsistent messages. Said my car is a total loss, but the letter of contact says the insurance is invoking Right to repair under Section *.* and Section *.* of the document I shared. Can this be done?

It's possible for an insurance company to declare a car a total loss while still invoking certain sections regarding repairs. Generally, if the repair costs exceed the car's value, it's considered a total loss. Review those sections closely, as they might pertain to specific repair rights or conditions. Clarifying this with your insurance adjuster would be beneficial. Would you like help understanding any specific terms in those sections?
