do insurance companies deduct the money they spent trying to see if the vehicle was a total loss or do they still have to give me the fair market value regardless

Their expenses in determining what is owed is not part of the claim. You are paid the value of the vehicle regardless of how much money they spend to determine this.

See, I don't think your policy papers have any such thing as deductions in terms of total loss determination. It would be up to the adjuster (based on a number of factors) to decide how much you could be compensated for. Your vehicle becomes a total loss once the repair charges equal 80% of it's ACV.

Definitely! It will very much be on the adjuster to decide how much you could be compensated for. Yeah, you can negotiate on the offer I guess.
