Still owe for the totaled car

My auto insurance company totaled my car after an accident. I still owe the bank for the loan on the car. What if I still want to keep the car? Will the insurance pay the bank directly? What about the remaining balance for the loan? Will I need to pay for it on my own?

If your vehicle was undamaged, what would the answers to your questions be?

The damage does not change the answer.

If you keep the vehicle, your insurance company would deduct the salvage value from what they paid the bank. I doubt the bank would allow this.

Yes, the insurance company will pay your bank directly as if they keep the vehicle they need the title.
