If you have just been involved in a serious accident making a car accident claim can be the last thing on your mind. Even though you have suffered a personal injury, such as a head injury or whiplash injury, your first priority may be to other people that have suffered more severe injuries than yourself. Here is some valuable advice; you never know when it will come in handy:
Assess the situation then dial 999 and wait for the emergency services to arrive. The operator will give you any further advice
Although it is very difficult, remember that you should try your hardest to remain calm. This will help you to think clearly and will stop others from panicking
Keep any casualties breathing by performing basic CPR, check for a pulse, check their airways and then perform resuscitation if needed. For advice on how to resuscitate visit http://www.redcross.org.uk
Try to stop any bleeding as this can cause shock. Apply pressure and elevate the wounded area if possible while dressing the wound. For further information visit http://www.redcross.org.uk
