Even a minor accident can feel overwhelming—but taking the right steps immediately can protect your vehicle, your wallet, and your peace of mind.
Here’s a quick guide to handling a fender bender the smart way:
1. Stay Calm and Safe
Move your vehicle to a safe spot if possible. Check for injuries and call emergency services if needed.
2. Document Everything
Take photos of the damage, location, and any vehicles involved. Exchange insurance and contact info with the other driver.
3. Don’t Ignore “Minor” Damage
What looks like a small dent or scratch could hide deeper structural or alignment issues. Always get it checked by a professional.
4. Contact a Trusted Collision Repair Shop
Skip the guesswork—have experts assess the damage and help with your insurance claim if needed.
