Can I control whether my car is repaired or replaced following a Florida car accident?

“Depends on the cost of repair to the total value. There is a Florida statute that allows that if 80% of the value is compromised as a result of the accident, you can force them to total the vehicle. Sometimes your insurance policy will provide for further rights that will lower the thresholds and even provide like-kind replacement or replacement with a newer model for your car depending on who the carrier is.”
