Damage found days or weeks after a collision can complicate an insurance claim, especially when the cause of the crash or responsibility for the repairs remains disputed. A vehicle may look drivable during an initial roadside review in Charlotte, yet later show suspension problems, electrical faults, alignment issues, or damage hidden beneath exterior panels.
