A method determines damage which occurs on the vehicle in the event of an accident between a vehicle and a collision partner. The method analyzes information about an acceleration profile of the vehicle provided by an acceleration sensor. The analysis is performed as to whether the acceleration profile exhibits at least one sudden change or jump. The method generates an output signal which includes an item of information about damage which has occurred on the vehicle in the event of the accident, based on a number of changes or jumps which are identified during the analysis of the acceleration profile.
