That depends. Bumper to bumper car accident or legally known as Rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of multiple vehicle accidents and one of the primary causes of whiplash.
Even if it's a minor accident, if you were At Fault it wouldn't be wise to immediately leave the scene as that would be a case of "hit and run". If the driver saw your plate number while you hasten to leave, then he can file a lawsuit against you and you'll be looking at a large settlement case, instead of just helping the car owner to have his bumper fixed.

The adjective "bump" is so subjective as to have no meaning. Was it a minor bumper "tap" or a full-fledged "whack" that rocked both vehicles? What you consider "no damage" may not be what the owner of the other vehicle thinks. Unless it OBVIOUSLY falls into the category of a bumper-kiss, you should try to locate the other owner or, leave your contact information under the other vehicles wiper.
