Requesting your advice and comments regarding the categorization of RTA. For example a minor vehicle accident on a public road resulted in no injuries and caused no major damage to the vehicle involved. Given these circumstances, is this should be classified as a Road Traffic Accident or categorized under Damage to Property.

If your incident classification system has RTA as a category in it, then that is the obvious one to use.
Unless you have some kind of external reporting of accidents by category (for example, to a head office or to a customer or for industry benchmarking), then it is entirely up to you and makes no difference to anyone else how you categorise incidents. If you do have such external reporting, then you need to follow whatever the criteria for that reporting are, and those are entirely up to whoever wants the reports.

Wouldn’t an incident involving a car and no injury but minor damage, be classified as a minor damage only RTC/RTC. How or why would it be classed as damage to property? Edited by user 15 July 2024 16:47:20(UTC)

Surely whatever has been damaged (whether this car or something else) is someone's property, so I don't see why it couldn't be classified as damage to property.
