An insurance agency represents the insurance company. This is the decision of the client, not the agency or the company. This has no bearing on the fault of the accident...unless they have not inspected the vehcile yet...when in most cases the vehicle is stored at a facility.

It just depends on the terms of the agreement you worked out in the settlement. If you wanna retain ownership this is generally addresses during the claims settlement negotiation.

If you own the car and the insurance company decides the car is totaled do you still keep the car?

No, however, they usually will offer a "buyback" price, if you want to buy it back. Once they total, and pay for it, it is their property. This is assuming this is a full coverage issue, where they would have to fix the car. If it is a liability only issue, in other words, they have to pay for damage you caused to someone else, but not for your car, then you retain ownership.
