If you were just in a car accident follow these steps:
1) MAKE SURE YOU’RE SAFE. If any vehicles are on fire or smoking, get clear, and get anyone else clear who may be in danger.
2) Determine your own injuries. If you’re bleeding, put direct pressure on it. Move carefully.
3) Call 911 for help, or ask someone else to call.
4) If you have to move someone else who’s hurt, North Carolina’s Good Samaritan Law should protect you, so long as you aren’t reckless.
5) If you safely can, get photographs of the scene, and get the license plate numbers of all vehicles.
6) Get the other drivers’ insurance information.
7) Get the names and addresses of anyone who says they saw the wreck, or who stopped to help.
8) Get the treatment you need from EMS, or as soon as you feel you need to be treated.
