b2l2: i dun really think the damage is big enough for total loss, most likely icbc is going to pick up two used doors and replace the rocker panel with b pillar....looks like about $3k damage to me, but it could be a lot more worse after it's opened up...

make sure u report any sort of discomfort to icbc and started filing a claim for injury, with this kinda injury from a pick up, u will feel sth years down the road if it's not taken good care of...

lucky u and ur parents were "ok", at least it didn't happen when the road was all covered by snow / ice; at least the truck could have slowed down a little and didn't cause much cabin damage (nor suspension damage, from the pix)...

keep me updated for any help, hopefully u and ur parents will be recovered soon, got the claim settled and car repaired / replaced as the way your want...

unfortunately 1/4 panel / b-pilliar and rocker panel etc will be involving cutting and welding, one has to spend the time to pull it out as close as possible to original then start cutting and welding; if repair is done probably there is not much of a problem afterwards (now it's all depends where the car is going to be repaired)...

i would guess the camry would still worth $5k to $7k at least (by just looking at black book), so which means icbc will have more than enough room to repair the car without writting it off (they dun go for black book value, they go for market value)...

yet recently market value for most car has dropped a lot, now it really depends on how things is going to be settled...

they probably have no luck with used parts, with the accident rate over the winter period, probably why they took so long too...

just bring it to the body shop, ur old car they first estimated $49xx, joe got it up to $11k and it was an instant write off...

but then that's a front end with a lot of misc parts they probably forgot to include...
