Some major support parts of any motorized vehicle are very strong and solid but most of the visible part is somewhat weak. This weakness applies particularly to the bodywork which will bend, dent or crease under even quite moderate impact.
Collision Damage
If you bump into another (stationary) car in a parking lot in Corvallis, Oregon, then, both cars are likely to suffer small dents, damaged paintwork and maybe some broken lighting clusters. This happens no matter how slow you were moving at the time. Let us assume that you are not the sort of person who will quickly drive away, in the hope that no one saw you or, at least, did not get your plate number. In which case, you will probably need to find a good auto shop that carries out Collision Repair In Corvallis OR and pay out to have both vehicles restored to their pre-collision conditions.
It Takes Two To Collide
And, at least one of the parties has to be moving (hopefully, if it is a moving vehicle, it has a driver). It does not really matter what the driver of that moving vehicle hits, a stationary inanimate object like a phone pole, an animal encroaching onto the road or, another moving vehicle. Both parties will likely sustain damage (even a giant roadside boulder could crack).
But, Who Was At Fault And Liable?
There are jokes about poles and trees jumping out into the road and causing vehicles to collide with them but that rarely ever happens. Nearly every time a vehicle collides with something, there will be at least one driver involved and, quite often, it was one of the drivers that caused the collision to occur. It is the job of the authorities (traffic police, etc) along with lawyers and motor insurance companies to portion out the blame and decide who should pay for actions required to correct the damage caused during the collision. But, one way or another, at least one vehicle will end up at an auto shop for Collision Repair In Corvallis OR.
Can The Collision Vehicle Be salvaged?
If the damage is restricted to bodywork and lights, then any good Collision Repair Shop In Corvallis OR should be able to bring it back to mint condition. However, make sure that you choose a shop that is authorized to carry out insurance jobs (assuming you will be trying to claim from your insurance that is). But, if there has been damage to the chassis or other structural members, then, you must get an expert opinion on whether or not the vehicle will be safe to drive after the repair work has been carried out.
