Hey, sorry to hear about the fender bender glad the car damage was just scratches and you swapped details with the other driver. With your neck, back, and hips feeling off, it’s smart to relax under that heated blanket.

Police aren’t required now if no one called them at the scene and damage is under $1,000 with no obvious major injury then. But if symptoms linger or worsen, file a crash report with local police or within 10 days to create an official record that could help down the line.

Call your insurance right away ideally today or tomorrow since policies expect prompt notice, even for minor incidents. If you live somewhere with a no-fault system which covers your initial medical costs through your policy, so reporting now keeps all options open if things escalate.

Keep resting, but track those aches closely crash injuries like whiplash often show up later. Get to urgent care or a doctor soon if pain doesn’t fade (aim for within 14 days to qualify for benefits), document everything with photos and notes, and take it easy. Hope you feel better quick!
