Honestly, I lean toward documenting everything, even if it feels like overkill. A quick set of photos and a note to yourself covers you if things get weird later. I’ve seen people change their story after the fact... not worth the risk.

- Honestly, you’re better off reporting it, even if there’s no visible damage.
- Sometimes, what looks like “nothing” can turn into a claim for a bumper sensor or hidden dent later.
- Take photos, jot down the details (time, place, weather), and let your insurer know—keeps things simple if the other party changes their mind.
- I’ve seen cases where someone shrugged it off at first, then called in with a repair bill days later... not fun to sort out after the fact.
- It might feel like overkill, but it saves headaches down the road.
