Because i was hit on my left front tire, will there be damages on my right? I was making a left turn and an suv hit mainly my left front tire. The referred mechanic and appraiser from the insurance company told me most of the major damage like the suspension damage, axle damage, and more, was on my right front . These damages would total out the car. They also said if i was really hit on my left front tire ,then there would only be damage on the left side. Is this true??

Possibly. What suspension items are damaged?

Did you actually hit any object on your right? If not, I'd also like to know the possibility of any previous damage caused to the right!

If your vehicle suffers damage to the subframe/engine cradle, damage from one side may result from displacement where critical suspension parts are mounted to. Cradles often shift causing camber displacement which may result in excessive worn or bent parts on the opposite side of the vehicle. A severly damaged cradle can often result in damage to the frame or unibody in other areas of the vehicle as well.
