Not all car accidents involve dramatic crashes or major injuries. In fact, most collisions are considered “minor” — fender benders in parking lots, rear-end taps at traffic lights, or low-speed scrapes during stop-and-go traffic. Because these accidents appear less serious, many people decide to handle things on their own, often skipping a legal consultation altogether. But just because an accident seems minor at first doesn’t mean it won’t become a major problem later.
