For numerous drivers, a vehicle is more than just a means of traveling between locations; it is their “precious possession.” It’s understandable that emotions escalate when a minor car accident occurs. Some individuals tend to dismiss it based on the extent of the damage. In the heat of the moment, they might become upset and shout, but ultimately leave with their day spoiled. Many motorists, particularly those who are inexperienced, may wonder, “What exactly is a fender bender?” In reality, a small accident can lead to issues that extend well beyond just a scratched bumper. Unexpected repair costs, concealed damages, and legal repercussions can have broader implications than many drivers anticipate. So, what exactly is a fender bender? Events resulting in injury or fatality are classified as “accidents,” whereas slight crashes are commonly termed as “fender benders.” Typically, these are related to minor collisions that result in dings or surface marks.
