Minor Accidents

We often consider fender benders and similar incidents to be minor accidents.  In some ways, it is true — they are much less devastating usually than a major collision.  However, even a fender bender can cause injuries, auto damage, and be very stressful to deal with.  It’s important that you have insurance that will provide good coverage for minor accidents and serious ones alike.

Although minor accidents usually only result in minor damage or injury, they can still be costly, and are often frustrating and stressful.  Some of the injuries reported with minor car accidents are cuts, bruises, and minor burns.  Probably the most common injury is whiplash, or other back or neck injuries.  Although such injuries are almost never life-threatening or even serious, they can require months or more of physical therapy, and may result in ongoing pain and discomfort.

Similarly, vehicles are rarely seriously damaged, but such a problem could cause problems to bumpers, body panels, windows and windshields, or tires and wheels.  Sometimes even small accidents can cause axle damage or other problems that can be costly to repair or cause ongoing problems with the car, especially if they aren’t immediately dealt with.

Sometimes in the aftermath of such an accident, parties are hesitant to exchange information.  However, your insurance company could be your best advocate in negotiations or legal matters after an accident.  If you are shopping for insurance, consider what your coverage will be like with both serious and minor accidents.
