Bumper Damage Effects from a Minor Accident

In most road accidents, specifically, rear-end and front-end car accidents, the first part on the car that would obviously take most of the initial damage, may it be minor or major accident, is the bumper. Bumpers were said to be designed as essential and initial protection system in most car as a feature by directly receiving initial damage from a car crash, no matter if it is minor or major. In addition, bumpers were engineered to protect the fuel container, hood, grill, radiators, and other parts, apart from driver and its occupants.

In some situation in a light collision, its depiction how bumpers are affected is that the plastic, which is the bumper is made of, is cracked or even just scrapes the paint when involved in a single vehicle collision or low speed traffic collisions. In serious collisions, the bumper would likely to split and even be thrown away due to speed and may affect the latter part of the car.

Why you should repair it immediately

Though, there is no law that requires a damaged bumper to be fixed when used in roads and let’s say that a driver doesn’t mind our encounter trouble driving with a worn out bumper, a damaged bumper couldn’t protect a car no more from another crash as it is rubbish than it would normally do and even the latter part of the car such as the entirety of exhaust system, hood, engine, trunk, or even the grill that may cost even more than repairing a damaged bumper.

A loose bumper pose another set of risks when driving, it gives a driver a bad experience of road driving. Though, loose bumper isn’t as bad as busted bumper, the vibrations, scratches, and tripping along road bumps wouldn’t give a driver time to relax as he/she is open to all risk available and may loosen it even more. Falling of a bumper while traveling would likely to result in a collision with another following vehicle or may get underneath on your car itself and may lose your control over the vehicle and may result in an accident.

Insurance Claims regarding bumpers

Most car insurance policy in United States states that they doesn’t compensate for external minor damage of a car/property in a car crash but physical and emotional damage to the driver and its occupants. But the consequences of the external minor damage of the recent car crash is compensated such as hydrostatic loss and other damages that require expenditure of money can be qualified for the said insurance policy.

And it would be clear as water when people inside the victim’s vehicle have sustained damage that they are entitle for an injury claim too, even if a minor or major scratches, they always do as they need to get themselves checked for potential whiplash and internal injuries since these are injuries that can occur following a low speed collision and they can spend dimes on it, so filing for an injury claim could cover these unexpected financial damage.
