yes, definitly take care of the most important things.
My son totaled a car of mine about four years ago and actually the insurance paperwork was surprizingly light. I was also surprized at how little it takes for the insurance company to declare a car a total. The reason is that when they declare a total they keep the car...and the value of the salvaged parts. So the fact that the wreck did not deploy the airbags or break any of the windows or dent most of the major body panels or damage the engine...meant that the car had a LOT of salvage value as parts!
