How much is the general compensation for a minor car rear-end collision?
2 Answers
How much compensation is required for a minor car rear-end collision depends on the extent of the damage and the insurance company's assessment. A rear-end collision refers to the behavior where the front of the following vehicle collides with the rear of the preceding vehicle while driving in the same lane. It is mainly caused by the following distance being less than the minimum safe distance and the driver's slow reaction or poor braking system performance. Additional information: Below is relevant information about traffic accidents: 1. Introduction: "Traffic Accident" refers to an incident where a vehicle causes personal injury, death, or property damage on the road due to fault or accident. 2. Causes: Traffic accidents can not only be caused by unspecified individuals violating road traffic safety regulations but also by irresistible natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, flash floods, and lightning strikes.
A while ago, my own car was slightly rear-ended, and the bumper just had some paint scratched off. In the end, I was compensated 800 yuan. This mainly depends on the actual repair costs. For an ordinary sedan, replacing a bumper might cost around 1,000 to 3,000 yuan, and repainting could be done for about 300 to 500 yuan. However, you also need to consider the insurance situation of the at-fault party. If the other party is fully at fault and doesn’t have insurance, the compensation might be less. It’s best not to settle privately—calling the insurance company to send someone for an on-site damage assessment is the safest option. In my case, the insurance company estimated the cost on the spot, which saved a lot of hassle.
