Technically speaking, a driver may only be held responsible for an accident if it results in minor to significant damages. If your accident has no damage, the at-fault driver will not have any expenses to cover.
However, if the crash results in minimal damage, the at-fault party should pay for the damage costs of the accident. Additionally, there are cases where a car accident victim experiences late-appearing injuries. In such cases, you must file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party to receive compensation for the damages.
