Back when I was a lawyer, I did a very few fender-bender/whiplash cases. I refused to call them "accidents". There's nothing accidental when a car collides with anything. I called them "collisions" or "incidents" or some such thing. With the quality of cars nowadays, the vehicle is almost never to blame, driver (or in this case, owner) error is. If a part failure is at the root of the problem, it's most likely due to the owner failing to properly adhere to maintenance schedules. The days of the Pinto are gone!
