How to Protect Yourself in an Auto Accident

11/25/2019

Picture
​Accidents are not like a typhoon forecast that let you know when you can anticipate and prepare for it. However, there are times when you can lessen its impact by staying alert and keeping necessary items inside your car.
Preparation is Prevention
Preparing for emergencies is a necessity in all type of circumstances. Keep these things inside your glove box for safety measures:
  • Multifunctional tool (window breaker, seat belt cutter)
  • First aid kit
  • Extra battery for your phone
  • Pen and paper in case you need to take down notes during a collision (it is why keeping your focus and mindset essential)

Moreover, if you know there might be a collision happening, prepare your body for it. You can do it by keeping your wrist and hand straight at the steering wheel. Also, make sure that your head is against the headrest.

Always Evaluate the Situation
Again, making a conscious effort in staying alert can make a difference in how you will survive the accident. It is easier said than done as always, but a strong mindset helps a lot in a life and death situation.

Look around and assess the situation; feel your body and see how much hurt you are. It is critical to see if there are occurrences that may lead to more dangerous circumstances. It can be leaking gasoline!

Also, do not forget to call 911 immediately if you can.

Turn the Engine Off
Turning the engine will diminish the potential circulation of the explosive materials in your auto. Also, if you can get out, do that as soon as you can. There might be the aftermath of the crash; you must go away from the accident scene. Be present and tend to the instant shock. Setting your mind on it will make a significant difference to your situation.

Try to look for witnesses as well because they can help you with making a statement when rescue comes.

Get in Touch with Your Insurance Company
Insurance holds great importance especially under this kind of circumstances. Inform and tell them the details of what happened. You would want that protection and security you are paying for in the first place.
You do not know when will accident happens, so it is best to ensure the safety of your vehicle.
