I accidentally reversed into a taxi ford falcon at about 10 kph today. My car (Mazda 3) has 0 damage to its rear bumper and only the side of the falcons bumper popped off that can clip right back on. The car has no external damage other then that but the guy reckons it could have a bent frame or damaged radiator. I had a look and couldn't see any damage on the inside, what do you guys think.

Could there be any non cosmetic damage to the Ford falcon (its a 2014 or smth like that).

Edit: here's a photo of it and a crappy recordinf i took.
 
no expert
but iff theres no metal to metal contact there will not be any distortion as the 2 soft surface have done there job
 
I hit pretty much centre on but just a bit to the right which probably cause that side of fhe bumper to pop out cause silly me didn't check before reversing as he pulled in about 10 seconds before I left and it was previous clear. I'm not expert on collisions but is any intenral damage possible at 10 kph?
 
Bald tyre on the falcon, I didn't even notice
 
I bet he will claim for whiplash.
I've had dashcams in both cars for almost 10 years now.
Essential with the scammers on the road.
 
Problem is it's his working vehicle. In most jurisdictions you'd be obliged to tell your insurance company that you hit a third party, so they aren't blindsided by a claim from them further down the line.
Or if you think they have some shred of decency ask them to tell you how much you need to pay to put them back to the position they were in before the accident, pay up and move on with your life..
 
Not much use if/when it shows you driving right up their chuff :ROFLMAO:
It shows how slow the impact is.
So when they claim that they've dislocated all joints in their body in a 1mph accident, the insurance might have some reservations before paying out thousands.
