So you think it's totaled?

Might be. But it depends on the value of the car. As I understand it, a "total" is defined by the cost to repair being more than the market value of the car. Make sure the insurance company is thorough in detailing what the costs are, they'll try to do what is best for themselves, of course.

A 6mph impact in a Suzuki swift can make it a write-off apparently!

...repair costs amount to over £4,600 for a typical, minor, front and rear shunt in a Suzuki Swift. That’s more than half of the total value of the car, and makes it liable to be written off by insurers...

Insurance says 7800$ to fix. Totaled?

Need to know more about your car to answer that, mate. I am sure the insurance company will tell you.

Whose fault was it?

Sorry to hear that mate. Better luck next time.

That's insurance companies' timescales for you. Thieves they are, the lot of them
