Well, I wasn't paying attention at a stop sign when a car in front rolled back into my bumper.
No big deal, it was a Mini, and must've been going 1/2 MPH as there was a dip in the road.
Her car, a scratch on the rear bumper. My Honda Fit, according to the shop, needs a new bumper and there is a brace bent, that has caused the fender to misalign with the hood. Approx cost, wait, wait now, $1800 ! Useless piece of plastic crap called a bumper. WTF !

 

Nope don't believe it a bent metal brace PUT THERE TO PREVENT THIS bent in a 1/2 mph crash yea right. You said you weren't paying attention so how to you know her speed?

 

Um, the plastic piece is a bumper cover. The bumper is the steel beam under the impact foam, which is under the plastic cover...

For any impact that slow, only the foam and possibly the plastic should have taken damage, unless it was a very offset hit.

Things like this is what insurance is for, but since you were probably stopped too close (since most people won't roll back more than 1/2 car length), you'll probably still be on the hook for the deductible...

 

Tough situation, look into it a bit more.
