What to Do in Case of Road Accident

 
While driving is essential for many in order to move about in their lives, it is one of the most dangerous activities performed daily. In addition, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that two out of three motorists will be involved in an injury accident during their life.
 
Thus, it is crucial that everyone remain calm in order to properly handle the immediate aftermath of an automobile collision.
 
Here are some things that we need to remember in case of an auto accident:
 
-Before anything else, seek medical attention if you have been hurt.
 
-Next, get to a safe place to prevent further damage or injury.
 
-Also, collect as much information as possible: insurance and contact information of people involved in the accident, pictures/videos of vehicles involved, documentation of fault, and whatever else that can be used for evidence.
 
-Then, file a police report or incident report by calling 911.
