If you are in a car accident, remember to always protect yourself at the accident scene. You do this in a couple of different ways. 1st, physical protection–be aware of your surroundings. I saw on the news last week that a person stopped to help another person after a small car accident and was struck and killed by another vehicle that didn’t see him. 2nd, protect your vehicle. Pull over to the side of the road if the accident is not major. It’s okay to do this unlike what some may tell you and by the way, if an accident response truck or police officer stops by, they will ask you to move your vehicle to the side to allow traffic to pass. 3rd- find any witness that are available to speak with. You never know if a rear end accident turns into a disputed liability claim where the witness will be your saving grace.Steven Gross
