A: An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Attorneys may want to know what happened to make State Farm vacillate back and forth in its total loss declaration. Attorneys may also have questions about how scratching a car resulted in a total loss declaration. If you reached out to local attorneys, they could be in a better position to advise after seeing the PD file. Good luck
