• Around 35,000 Americans die in car accidents every year
• Men are less likely to wear seatbelts than women
• Over the last decade, car accident fatalities have increased by nearly 10,000 %
• Newly licensed drivers have higher crash rates than older drivers
• Most motor vehicle accidents occur in the fall and winter months
• Around 43% of accidents happen between noon and 6:00 pm

• Distracted driving: Motorists become much more dangerous and unpredictable when texting or talking on the phone
• Speeding: When speed is a factor in an accident, the likelihood of serious injuries or fatalities increases significantly
• Impaired driving: Car accidents are far more likely to happen when one or more drivers is under the influence
• Adverse weather conditions: Snow, ice, fog, and high winds can all increase the risk of an accident, particularly if motorists are driving too quickly for the conditions
• Improper passing: Illegal passing on two-lane highways can lead to head-on collisions, which often cause devastating injuries
• Following too closely: Tailgating is a major cause of rear-end collisions

Depending on the nature of your accident, car accident injuries can range from mild to life-threatening. Some common vehicle collision injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Broken bones
• Whiplash
• Lacerations and bruising
• Scarring and disfigurement

If possible, move your vehicle out of traffic. Move to the shoulder of the road or into a nearby parking lot. This will help keep you and everyone else on the road safe from further harm.
Do not leave the scene of the accident. Many states have hit-and-run laws that require you to perform specific duties before you are cleared to leave.

Immediately assess your injuries and those of any passengers in the car. Keep in mind that adrenaline may be preventing you from feeling pain, so be sure to visually check yourself and others for visible injuries.
Your injuries may not be obvious. It is a good idea to seek medical attention before leaving the scene, even if you do not believe you are hurt.

If the accident was serious, call 911 and request an ambulance be sent to the scene. If it was more of a fender bender, call the local non emergency line and have a police officer dispatched to the scene.
It is important to file a police report to protect any potential insurance claims you may file. Many insurance providers require a police report before covering any damages.
When speaking with the police officer, do not accept fault or speculate on the cause of the accident. Simply give the facts surrounding the crash.

Take photos and videos of the following:

• Your injuries
• All vehicles involved in the accident
• The scene as a whole
• Property damage caused by the accident
• Pavement markings
• Weather and traffic conditions

Verbal accounts of the accident can later be disputed. Pictures are helpful when you and/or your attorney begin to gather evidence for your claim.

When speaking to others involved in the accident, remain calm and professional. Be sure to get the following information from the other driver:

• Name
• Phone number
• Address
• Insurance card information
• Driver’s license and license plate number

Do not apologize to the other driver or admit fault for the accident. In many cases, an investigation will be done to determine liability. If you accept the blame for the accident, an investigation may not be done and you will lose your right to a claim.

Even if you were not responsible for the accident, you should contact your own insurance company and inform them that you were involved in a crash. Your car insurance policy may have some of the following types of coverage to help pay for injuries and damage to your vehicle:

• Med-pay
• PIP (also known as personal injury protection)
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage 

Depending on state law, some of these types of coverage may be mandatory on your policy. Others may require you to opt in or out. The best way to find out if you have any of these types of coverage is to look up your insurance policy or speak with your agent.

Begin treating your injuries as soon as possible. If you were not examined by a medical professional at the scene of the accident, make an appointment with your doctor immediately. Inform them that you were involved in an accident so they can look for hidden injuries.
The sooner you have your injuries treated, the more quickly your car accident claim can be settled. In most cases, your case cannot move forward until your injuries have been fully treated.
Keep track of your medical records and all treatment you receive. These will be used to build your claim.
