What is a Fender Bender?
For many drivers, the open road is not nearly as treacherous as parking lots, driveways or intersections, for these places are where the event known as a “fender bender” is most likely to occur. A fender bender is a minor accident that generally causes minor damage to the vehicles involved, but can still become a major issue for the owners of those vehicles. Most automobile insurance agencies provided coverage for damages and injuries caused by a fender bender, but they also have the right to raise a driver’s premiums following the report of even a minor accident. For this reason, it is not unusual for drivers to settle the cost of a fender bender between themselves.
