The actions you should take after being injured in an accident depends on the severity of your injuries. If you received minor bruises or cuts and did not hit your head, first you should check if anyone else inside the vehicle is injured, you can then check the damage to your car and the other driver involved. If you were severely hurt, it’s best not to move at all and wait for first responders. If your cell phone is within reach, call 911 or an ambulance.
