In any car accident, the most important thing to do is to prioritize your own safety before anything else. Once you are certain that you are safe, then you can begin to focus your attention on addressing the needs of the rest of the passengers, and contacting 911 as soon as possible. If you and the other passengers are able to do so, or if the vehicle is able to move, get out of the way of oncoming traffic in order to avoid any additional injuries or secondary accidents. Once the police arrive, they will be able to secure the scene and divert traffic to ensure that everyone stays safe from additional dangers.

When you speak with 911, make sure that you tell them what types of injuries you think you’ve sustained so they can advise you on how to handle the injuries while you wait for the EMTs. It is important that you never attempt to move someone who you suspect has suffered a neck or spinal injury because moving them can cause serious additional injury.

When the Police and EMTs Arrive
When the emergency responders arrive on the scene, they will make sure that those who require the most immediate medical attention are addressed first. It will be helpful to give your account of the accident to the police for their report. It is important that you don’t say anything that could suggest that you are taking responsibility. Something as simple as apologizing to another party can be perceived as an admission of fault and can cause serious problems for your case further on in the process. If someone else caused the accident, explain how it happened and how they were at fault to the police, and they will be able to take a series of witness accounts in order to paint a clear picture of the situation. This report will be very helpful later on.
