Minor Accident

Minor traffic accidents can be distinguished from medium and major traffic accidents. Sometimes when even a minor traffic accident occurs, individuals involved engage a Personal injury lawyer Phoenix professional.

The following is an example of a minor traffic accident:

While traveling on a weekday morning on the way to work, the accident victim was driving on her usual route. Coming to a familiar four way traffic light, she was stopped at the red light and was waiting to proceed when the light turned green. She had left plenty of space in front of her where the car ahead waited for the light to turn as well. She was idling stopped for around 30 seconds when she was hit by another car from the rear unexpectedly.

After getting out of the vehicle, she could see that the hitch extension on the back of her SUV was badly damaged and would need to be replaced, In fact the other driver's car was still actually on the hitch extension. The other driver immediately admitted it was his fault for the rear end collision as he was not paying close enough attention while on his cell phone.

The other driver and she were able to pull over and exchange information. They both determined that since it was a small accident, there wasn't a need for police or witnesses.
