You've mentioned several times you're in a lot of pain. I'm so very sorry about that. It has me wondering if you should in fact go to the ER. Not getting checked out until Tuesday sounds like a long time to wait before getting medical attention. (I'm assuming you haven't based on what's been said so far, though I might have missed it.) Hopefully nothing is serious, but internal damage can be hard to diagnose without a detailed examination and possibly various tests. I would lean on the side of caution.

As for your next ride, I'd look at crash data for other vehicles before making a decision. the Mach E has a very impressive history of protecting occupants, so I wouldn't rule it out. But obviously that choice is 100% yours; I just suggesting another point of view.

Best of luck with everything. We're all hoping you heal quickly and get a fair shake with your insurance company.

Honestly, t-bone sucks no matter what car you are in. Get a good lawyer (personal injury ) and follow their instructions ( things to look for - make sure they don't go over 20%-30% of your total payout ) Spedy recovery.

Get to a personal injury lawyer immediately and get medical attention immediately. You need a record of the discomfort and continuing pain and inconvenience and hopefully a record of quick recovery. Since it sounds likely the other part was at fault (unless you ran a red light and got t- boned or something like that), you shoukd get compensated for all damages and injuries. Don't wait till Tuesday. Too long after incident.

I had no red light other party is definitely responsible. I will for sure thanks for the advice.

Airbag deployment used to mandate a hospital visit for trauma team eval. Your need for assistance to get out still is an indication for the ambulance at the scene to take you in.
Go to the ED if you have intractable pain. Go in the morning (less busy).

Based on the pain after the accident most likely not. I want something that’ll hold up better probably a jeep wrangler because the pain is unbearable.

The pain caused by the accident and airbags is not unique to the Mach E. And in terms of safety, the Wrangler is certainly less safe than a Mach E.

I thought the wrangles was safer because it’s an off road vehicle that’s interesting.

Not at all. Though like many vehicles, their safety has improved, they’ve never been one of the safer vehicles on the street. They remain more likely to rollover than nearly every other SUV for example.

Serious T-bones are often fatal.

I got t boned by a vehicle that ran a stop sign is my vehicle totalled or will it be repaired? Insurance is taking quite a bit of time and I’m worried.

With that much damage you want it to be totaled. If it gets rebuilt, it will never be right. Heal up, take care of yourself, and make sure your settlement is right and fair. And look both ways very carefully at intersections before entering. I have a friend who died at the scene after getting t-boned. The driver said the sun was in his eyes.

Great advice thank you

I guess the wrangler is out of the question now I will no longer be considering it. Thank you

The MME does well in the testing, but moving up in size can help, three row SUVs and trucks are generally safer. The IIHS tests and reports on vehicle safety, might be good to browse their data when you start shopping.

Keep in mind the scoring is based on size categories, the the very best rating for a small car does not mean it's best overall, just compared to other small cars, a large truck with a lessor rating can be safer than a small car with the best rating.
