My VW sacrificed itself to save me/daughter yesterday

Glad to hear that you and your daughter are ok. I've been in a head-on crash before (was hit by drunk driver in '94) so I know first hand how scary those crashes are.
Does the extended warranty contract allow you to cancel early, at least in circumstances like this?
This right here.
Depends on the complexity of the case and whether there’s litigation.

Is this the new A7 platform Jetta? It seems to perform well in this unfortunate scenario.
Glad to hear everyone is relatively OK.

Glad you are OK. Get medical evaluation even if you feel fine
The people walked away from this, the car did not; exactly what should happen. Say a quiet ‘thank you’ to the car and move on. Despite causing the accident, glad the other driver is included in this tally of walking away, hopefully they will learn something from it.
This should be part of your total loss compensation. I know the insurance company will try to weasel out of it, but, you have suffered a loss in that you cannot get another vehicle under these same financial conditions. This situation was caused by the at-fault driver.
In 2002 my '99 Passat was T-Boned on the passenger's side, by a red-light-running Crown Vic. The Vicky was smashed past the front wheels and written off... We drove to the hospital and home. My wife was saved that night by the Passat. A bruised right arm from the airbag, but otherwise neither one of us had any real injuries.
Insurance paid $15,000 to fix her. I LOVED that car.
The Passat died about a year later when the timing belt snapped prematurely. I HATED Volkswagen after that.

That was the factory warranty in 2019. The last year for it
Explain further please
If I may, Brons2 is saying the insurance company should make you whole, as if the crash didn't happen. Same retail value of car, same financial situation regarding the loan.
Only important thing is that everyone is OK. Everything else is trivial!
So one car went 35mph. How fast did the other vehicle go? Good outcome. Hopefully no lingering injuries.
Glad you and your daughter survived !!!!!!
Having gone thru that before and knowing you have existing injuries, you know what to do. GET A LAWYER.
Yes it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. But you have to look after not only your best interests, but god forbid if your daughter materializes problems down the road too.
