When they do deploy, it signals that the crash involved significant force, but it doesn\u2019t guarantee that your car is totaled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A vehicle is considered \u201ctotaled\u201d when the cost of repairs exceeds a certain percentage of the car\u2019s actual cash value (ACV), often between 70% and 75%, depending on the state and the insurance company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your car is worth $10,000 and repairs cost $8,000, the insurer may deem the vehicle a total loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While airbag deployment increases costs (since airbags must be replaced and can\u2019t be reused), it\u2019s just one factor that insurance companies consider when assessing a totaled vehicle.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Airbags Deploy (and When They Should)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbags are triggered by sensors that detect a sudden deceleration or impact.
