Tips for When In An Accident

  • Check yourself for injury.
    You or someone in your vehicle may be injured. Be sure to ask everyone if they are okay and check yourself to make sure you are okay.
  • Do not move if you suspect you are seriously injured, unless the car is at risk of exploding.
    If there is smoke coming from your radiator and it seems the car is at risk for catching fire and/or exploding, then attempt to move. However, if you suspect or know that you are seriously injured, stay put. Internal injuries can be very bad; moving may cause more damage. Wait until the paramedics come if it is safe to do so.
  • Call an ambulance if no one has but people are injured. Call the police and stay put. Do not leave the scene.
    Call emergency services immediately if anyone is hurt. Contact the police and remain at the scene until the authorities arrive.
  • Carry an emergency kit in your car.
    Putting an emergency kit in the back of your car can be very helpful. Include a first aid kit, emergency contacts, medical information, pen and paper, safety cones, flares, and anything else you think may be useful. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
  • Move car out of traffic’s way if possible.
    You don’t want your car to obstruct traffic and get damaged or cause others to get into accidents.
  • Document time, damage, and information of drivers.
    If you are able to think clearly, try and get details of what happened. This will be useful later. Take photos of the scene if you have a camera or your phone with you.
