What to Do If You Accidentally Scrape Someone Else's Car While Reversing?

[OSilas]

Here are the steps to handle the situation: 1. If the damage to both vehicles is very minor and you cannot contact the owner immediately, you can leave your contact information on the damaged vehicle. 2. If the damage to the vehicle is somewhat severe, first call the police to have traffic officers arrive at the scene. The officers will notify the other owner and then decide whether to proceed with an insurance claim, report the incident to the insurance company, and assess the damage. 3. Nowadays, many places have surveillance cameras. If the other party finds out through the footage, it will be considered a hit-and-run, which means the insurance will not cover the damages, and you may also face fines. For the following types of traffic accidents, the parties involved should first leave the scene and then negotiate the compensation for damages on their own: 1. Property damage accidents involving motor vehicles and motor vehicles, or motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, where the parties have no disputes about the facts and causes. 2. Property damage accidents involving non-motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles or pedestrians, where the basic facts and causes are clear.
