Fender benders aren’t uncommon. Your bumper can get tapped in parking lots, red lights, and even driving on a busy street.
Basically, this type of minor car accident can occur almost anywhere and at any time. Your vehicle can even get dinged sitting in the driveway when someone’s pulling in or out. Even though the damage appears minimal, your minor fender bender can result in significant vehicle damage.
