ORLANDO, FL, October 27, 2010 (Press-News.org) The most careful driver can also be involved in an unexpected and frightening car accident through no fault of their own. That is why everyone who gets behind the wheel of a motor vehicle should have a plan in the event they are involved in a collision. Chances are if you have a plan of action in mind you will be able to cope more easily with the aftermath of a car accident. How you react following a car accident may prevent further injuries and damages and reduce costs.
Rules to Follow After an Accident
The following suggestions should help you cope more easily after a car accident:
- Remain calm so you can think clearly
- Check everyone, including yourself, for injuries
- Call 911 and police
- Try to ascertain if you are in danger of a secondary collision from oncoming traffic
- Do not leave the scene of the accident
- Do not make any admissions of fault
- Try to obtain all pertinent information from the other driver and any witnesses
- Photograph and document the accident
- Notify your insurance company

The possibility you will be involved in a car accident at some point in your life is very likely, either as the driver, passenger, or pedestrian, so it makes sense to be prepared. Car accidents exact a tremendous toll on all involved either physically, emotionally or financially. Car accidents happen when you least expect them and can leave even the most level-headed people stunned and shaken.

- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Disability or disfigurement
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
