What is the most common damage from a car accident?

If you have ever been in a car accident, you know that it can be a traumatic experience. But what is the most common type of damage that results from a car accident? A study by State Farm found that the most common damage from a car accident is to the exterior of the vehicle. In fact, over 60% of all accidents result in some kind of exterior damage. This can include damage to the paint, windows, and even the tires.  But what about more serious accidents? What is the most common type of damage for a totaled car?

State Farm’s study found that a common type of damage from a car accident is undercarriage damage. This is often caused by the impact of the accident, which can cause serious damage to the frame of the vehicle.  This can make it difficult to drive the vehicle, and it can also cause the vehicle to leak fluids. Be sure to check for undercarriage damage and have it repaired as soon as possible.

Another common type of damage from a car accident is mechanical damage. This can include damage to the engine, transmission, and even the suspension.  If you are ever in a car accident, have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to make sure that there is no mechanical damage.

Interestingly, another common type of damage for a totaled car is interior damage. This is because the impact of the accident usually causes the most damage to the inside of the vehicle. This can include damage to the seats, dashboard, and even the engine.
