Do You Know What To Do After a Car Accident?
Most drivers have no idea what to do after a car accident and it’s extremely important. Each year in the US, there are over 6 million car accidents. In the aftermath of a crash, it can get really stressful because drivers may be injured or confused, cars are often mangled and leaking fluid, and traffic can continue to pass dangerously close to the scene of the accident. Therefore, it is important to understand how to respond in the event of an accident to ensure you protect your rights. Ofcourse, your safety and the safety of your passengers should be your first priority. Make sure to check around to see if anyone is injured so that you can seek medical attention immediately. Remember,
no matter what, do not leave the scene of a car accident. Regardless of fault, all drivers must stay at the scene of the car accident because if anyone fails to do so can be charged with a crime. One of the first things you should do if possible is to move your car off the road. Once your car is safely off the road, move away from the car if you can. Don’t assume that other drivers will act safely just because they’re approaching the scene of an accident. If there’s a safe place for you to wait until the police arrive, exit your car and wait there. If it’s unsafe to exit your car, or you’re injured and unable to
move, stay put and wait for the police and first responders to arrive. Next, we recommend that while you wait for the police to arrive, avoid the temptation to talk to the other driver or drivers, remain calm. At most, you can exchange insurance information with the other driver. If you’re injured or not up to exchanging info, don’t worry, the police will get the other driver’s insurance and contact details when they arrive.
