Auto accidents give rise to the majority of personal injury claims in the U.S. This is due to the fact that every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in a car accident, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Generally speaking, more than 2 million auto accidents occur in the United States every year, pursuant to NHTSA. NOTE: This data is limited only to highways and interstates, and does not include surface street accidents. Of these millions of accidents, hundreds of thousands of people are injured every year, and thousands are injured seriously. Automobiles can weigh more than a ton, and when moving at highway speeds, a collision will destroy almost anything in its path.

What to Do Immediately After an Auto Accident:
When a car accident happens, injuries may be severe and emotions may be high. However, there are important things that must be taken care of both at the scene of any accident and soon afterward. Following is a list of things that should be done, if at all possible, when any automobile accident occurs.
~ Stay at the Scene. The cardinal rule for all car accidents is that you should never leave the scene until it is appropriate to do so. If you leave the scene of an accident, particularly where someone has sustained injuries or was killed, you can face serious criminal penalties for being a "hit-and-run" driver.
~ Make sure to obtain all pertinent information from the other party(s) involved in the accident (i.e. license plate number, drivers license number, address, telephone number, insurance information).
~ ALWAYS look to see if there was any individual who may have witnessed the accident and obtain there contact information.
~ Furthermore, if you have a camera in your car (or a camera phone) make sure to take plenty of photos of the scene and vehicles involved.
~ Call the Police. Especially if the accident involves significant property damage, physical injury, or death, you may need to call the police. Ask that a police report be filed in situations where law enforcement officers do arrive at the scene, and obtain the name and badge numbers of any responding officers.
