how to get a "total loss" out of my accident

I got into an accident last week. There was an animal in the road and i ended up driving head on into a tree. my radiator is not bent along with my bumper the front outside bumper is cracked and my hood is all pushed up. I had an insurence claim expert from aaa come look at it today. He has told me they will pay up to almost 6,000 to repair my car and that it looks fixable. However you can not get the hood open at all. In this case i am hoping for a total loss... my car is worth about 6,000 and I just want to get a safer car now and be done with this one. what are the chances that i have more damage done than can be seen and that the samage will total over 5,00 almost 6,000?

As Max pointed out, your airbags did not deploy because of the situation. A vehicle's restraint system is designed to engage in a life or death situation.

OP...did you happen to talk to someone about your airbags NOT working? That's not a GOOD thing.How hard did you hit the tree (if you happen to know)? At least, it sounds like YOU were ok. That's a 'plus'.
