Three Common Mistakes People Make After a Motor Vehicle Accident

  1. NOT CALLING THE POLICE
    After an accident a police officer should be called, he can:

  2. NOT TAKING PICTURES

    2. The location of both vehicles on the roadway and in relationship to each other
    3. Any cuts, scrapes, bruises or bleeding
  3. NOT GETTING IMMEDIATE MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR YOUR INJURIES
    If you are hurt you should get medical treatment ASAP:
