How To Be Prepared To Handle The Unexpected
If you are involved in a car accident, safety is the most important consideration. Don’t delay seeking medical attention for yourself or others.
Always call the police and file a report, unless you are certain that the damage to any personal property is less than $1,000, and the damage to any government property is less than $200.
An accident is always unexpected and often unsettling. It may be easy to forget what you should and should not do at that urgent time.
