You could be, but your CTP insurance will cover you for any personal injury claims from the other party.

If they declare it a write-off, they will cut you a cheque, and they retain the car (i.e. most likely end up selling it at the auctions). But you can keep the car if you want, just have to negotiate a 'salvage' cost with JustCars (ie they pay you a cheque as per the policy, but deduct from this the salvage cost they agree with you).
