A Basic Guide to Managing and Coping with Accidents and Injuries
We hope you never need to go beyond basic preparations, but accidents happen every day to people just like you.
We suggest that you have the following items with you in your vehicle at all times:
- Insurance cab card and telephone numbers
- First aid kit and supplies
- Names and telephone numbers of emergency contacts
If you do find yourself at an accident scene, move to a safe place. You should also do what you can to make you and the accident scene visible to other drivers or help. You should be sure to get basic information from the other driver, the names of any witnesses or passengers, and if possible, use your cell phone camera to take pictures or video of the accident scene.
If you are injured, the single most important thing is to get the right treatment as early as you can.
