Getting into an auto accident has to be one of the scariest moments in any person's life. You might have been fortunate enough to experience an auto accident and suffered only minor injuries and damage to your vehicle.

We are always amazed when we see an automobile accident which annihilates the car, but the driver emerges from the wreckage unharmed. By the same token, when there is an accident in which the vehicle is barely scratched, it seems incongruous to see the driver hauled away on a spine board.
