What should I do after a car accident?

By on May 27th, 2023 in

After you’re involved in a car accident, the first thing you should do is notify emergency services by calling 911. Attempting to render medical car for people injured in a motor vehicle crash can be risky unless you are trained. However, use your commonsense in determining if there is someone injured in the accident that needs immediate care. For example, if a vehicle involved in the crash is at risk of catching on fire or submerged in water, work to assist the driver or passengers from the vehicle to the extent that you can do so safely. Generally, you do not want to attempt to move or render aid to any driver or passenger injured in a car accident unless an immediate emergency is occurring.
