Walk It Through: The Crash on a Back Road

A dented pickup with no one around, a sore neck the next morning, and two insurers to name.

Backing out of a farm stand lot, a driver dents the door of a parked pickup. Its owner is inside the stand.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A low speed crash in a parking lot with a minor injury. A crash with serious injury or death, an uninsured driver, and the lawsuit that may follow are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
