| CAUTION! If you are ever in an auto accident, you may be too excited or shocked to think clearly at the moment. Because accidents happen to the best of drivers, everyone should be prepared to do the right things immediately afterward. Many legal troubles arising from accidents could be avoided or lessened if the persons involved knew in advance what they should do. Feel free to print out a copy of this page and keep it in the glove compartment of your vehicles. 1. STOP- State law requires that the driver of a vehicle involved in an accident wherein a person is injured or damage is done to some property shall immediately stop his vehicle at the scene of the accident or as close to the scene as possible without obstructing traffic more than is necessary. 2. ASSIST THE INJURED- Your first duty after stopping your car is to check for injured persons. If someone is seriously injured, call 911. 3. PROTECT THE SCENE- Take all possible precautions to prevent further accidents. Try to have someone warn approaching vehicles and, if at night and flares and reflectors are available, put them out or have it done. If no flares and reflectors are available and you have a flashlight, use it. 4. CALL AN OFFICER- Remain at the scene, unless injured, until the officer arrives. Cooperate with the officer by advising him of the basic facts briefly. 5. IDENTIFY THE OTHER DRIVER- Obtain the other driver's name, address, and the registration number of the vehicle he is driving, and request him to exhibit to you his driver's license. 6. WITNESSES- Obtain the names and addresses of any and all witnesses as soon as you can. Both eyewitnesses and all others who might have some information about any of the circumstances of the accident. 7. ARRESTS- An arrest at the scene does not necessarily indicate liability. 8. WHEN TO LEAVE THE SCENE- Unless your injuries impel you to do otherwise, do not leave the scene of the accident until you have, as outlined previously, assisted the injured, protected the scene, called an officer and assisted him, identified the other driver, obtained the names, addresses, and statements of all witnesses and made notes. 9. SEE YOUR CHIROPRACTOR- Remember that serious and costly injuries do not always result in immediate pain or bloodshed. 10. INFORM INSURANCE COMPANY- Make a complete report to your insurance company. Failure to make a prompt and correct report may affect your rights.
