Accident help- totaled?
Someone else was driving my car today. They Hit someone else- not sure of details just yet. Everyone walked away safe. Air bags did not deploy. No fluids leaking. No lights on dash. Can't tell what's what at this point. Power steering or something seems off, car feels heavy just had my pump replaced last week smfh). Detailed pictures attached.
2011 with 92k
List of what I can see Needs to be replaced.
Headlights
Both fog lights
Front Bumper
Hood
Both fenders
All plastic pieces shot
Bumper support
Plastic covers under the car
Paint chipped on both driver and passenger side door where the door meets fender.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like there may not be any structural damage and it all is just cosmetic. If that's the case it likely will not be totaled.

Put it through insurance, pay your deductible and try getting some upgrades with their estimate. It's hard to tell just by photos but it doesn't seem to have any serious frame damage but then again I'm going by the photos. Best of luck with the situation, most important thing is that everyone involved walked away safely.

May be some structure damage though. Front fender dent at the rear and slight push back on door may indicate the crumple zone in front of firewall started to give a little.

No airbags deployed..WOW
That's odd, front impact , which looks substantial and the airbags didn't deploy?? I would make them total that, car will never be the same , not too mention , it wont be worth anything when you go to trade or sell. Some prk rear ended my Altima, though the Nissan dealer did a good job, when it came time to trade it in 05' Altima SE with 68K miles, they wanted to give me $2000...had to sell it outright....sorry for your loss

Usually if a vehicle is totaled the will give you the insurance value of the car, not the resale value.
My 2001 Infiniti QX4 with 165,000 miles was totaled in 2012. It was worth maybe $5,000. Insurance totaled it and gave us a $9,000 check. At this point, hope the car is totaled. The airbags should have deployed and your car won't be the same after repairs.

Speaking, unfortunately, from recent experience... that I didn't post about...
I recently had some damage to the right front corner of my G. I was going to my son's school (they called because he was "sick") to pick him up. There's a really weird intersection where the roads come together kind of like a peace sign, not at 90 degree angles. The two legs of the peace sign do not have stop signs. I was approaching on one of them, another car coming the other way as well, I needed to make the "hard" left. (Going "straight" through the intersection is kind of a dog-leg left.) I stopped, to yield the right of way, and he stopped. With no signal, didn't start to make any turn or anything. Just sat there... So, after a bit... I decide I'm not going to sit all day, and started to make my left, of course, at the same time he decided he'd go, straight. Technically, my fault because there's no law that says when you take a driving "time out" at an intersection where you do not have a stop sign, you can't just decide to go then, whenever you want.
Anyway... Bumper cover needed replaced, bumper support, rad support (which is one big piece of plastic), right headlight, fog light, right fender and grill. (I replaced with midnight black). From the looks of it, it was far less damage than yours and was still $4500. Oh yeah... washer fluid tank, behind the headlight. I'm surprised yours didn't break. My hood was OK. Heck, those headlights are over $1000, each.
Given you'll need both headlights, both fenders, the hood, the doors blended (at least) and more "bits" under the hood replaced than I did... I can see this easily being considerably more than mine. KBB, for what it's worth, says your car is worth $12K. I'm guessing this will easily exceed the "total it" threshold, which may be for the best.
