Common Causes of Fender Benders
Fender benders typically occur in high-traffic areas or parking lots, often due to negligence or inattention. Common causes include:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or other distractions causing drivers to lose focus.
- Tailgating: Following too closely can make it impossible to stop in time.
- Sudden Stops: Rear-end collisions caused by abrupt braking.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Failing to signal or check blind spots.
- Parking Lot Mishaps: Tight spaces, poor visibility, and reckless maneuvers.
If another driver’s negligence caused the fender bender, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and damages.
Common Injuries in Fender Benders
Even low-impact collisions can result in injuries that require medical attention, such as:
- Whiplash and neck strain
- Back pain and soft tissue injuries
- Concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Cuts, bruises, and lacerations
- Shoulder or knee injuries from impact with the interior of the vehicle
If you are experiencing pain or discomfort after a fender bender, seek medical attention promptly and consult with an attorney to protect your rights.

- Medical Expenses: Coverage for doctor visits, physical therapy, and any necessary treatments.
- Property Damage: Reimbursement for vehicle repairs or replacement.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed at work due to injuries or recovery.
