Bumper Damage Auto Injury

Bumper damage is not an index of occupant motion or injury potential.

If you want to know if the car is damaged have it examined by a qualified auto mechanic or body shop specialist. A person on the other hand should be examined by a licensed, skilled and experienced doctor to make a determination if an injury has or has not occurred.

There doesn’t need to be a loss of consciousness to sustain a cerebral concussion. Any alteration in consciousness, even brief confusion caused by a blow to the head from an accelerating seatback in a rear impact crash or an inertial injury delivering an acceleration pulse to the neck and head can cause a concussion.

A zero property damage crash can only be interpreted as falling below the vehicle’s known crush threshold. Conversely, even moderate damage offers little proof that an injury was likely.
