Automobile Accident Tips

With the first snow fall of the year comes the first round of weather related automobile accidents.  If you or a loved one has been in an accident, knowing what to do could create quite a challenge.  Most people are in a kind of fog initially, so details go overlooked, especially when it comes to their own health concerns.

Here are some tips to help you get help and collect vital
information:

• Stay calm; keep the accident from getting worse.
• Render aid – if you are qualified.
• Warn other motorists away – unless they are qualified to aid
  the injured.
• Call 911 for assistance
• Seek care for your injuries (I can’t tell you how many times I see evidence of a serious accident that caused no immediate symptoms).
• Get your spine checked for Whiplash and other subluxations:  injuries to your neck can lead to serious neurological and degenerative changes that last a lifetime if not adjusted properly.

Here is some information that you should write down about the other driver (it pays to have a small pad of paper and pen in the glove box):

• License Plate Number
• Name
• Address
• Home and Work Phone Number
• Drivers License Number
• Insurance Agent
• Insurance Agent Phone Number
• Insurance Company
• Policy Number
• Witness Name and Number

The most important thing to do in any accident is to make certain that everyone involved is cared for properly.
