Crash-related Injuries
The scene of an accident could be chaotic and sometimes overwhelming. Before doing anything else, the first thing you should do is examine yourself for any possible injury, bleeding, and pain. If you are not injured and are able to move, stay out of the traffic and keep those who were fatally injured away from further harm. Doctors say that victims who sustained serious or life-threatening injuries should be immediately transferred to the nearest hospital.
The first hour following the accident is extremely impactful to their chances of survival. Lastly, call the police and request for an ambulance. Officials will document the scene and create an accident report which will help your insurance provider make a decision about your claims.
