In a minor accident, it’s hard to determine if your vehicle or the other driver’s vehicle has suffered damage of at least $750. It can also be challenging to determine if you, the other driver, or a passenger have suffered any injuries in a minor accident. That’s why it’s best to stay on the side of caution and report the accident at the scene, if possible. Doing so ensures that you and others involved in the accident can get assessed for injury and that your crash is documented in case you or the other parties want to file insurance claims or a lawsuit.
