Q. What is the difference between an “accident” and an “incident”?

A. An “accident” is an event that causes damage to a vehicle while being operated by a driver, regardless of who was at fault. It may involve a single vehicle or multiple vehicles. An “incident” is an event that causes damage to a vehicle while it is not being operated and may result from contact by another vehicle, acts of nature, vandalism, or unknown causes.
