Default accident checklist

It's good to have some notes in case (heaven forbid) you're involved in an oopsie on the road. It's easy to forget stuff in all the excitement, and every bit of information can help your case. I made a one page double sided fill-in-the-blanks checklist for myself to keep in the vehicle. Help yourself if you want to do the same.

Yeah and even though we have camaras on our phones, a cheap 35 mm throw away camera is a good idea. Too, keep an eye on the driver as they might be hopped up on drugs. I keep a 6 inch folding blade with me all the time, and a machete near the door with me for that very reason. But I drive professionally and I run into some real strange people, I can assure you, even if it has nothing to do with an accident..Driving nights in the "hood" on deliveries back about 10 years ago, I'd pack my .45 ACP, H&K, but thankfully I never had to pull it out or use it. Weird people everywhere and a driver needs to be real careful or you can end up in a coffin real fast. Situational awareness always !.

Where was this thread a couple of days ago? I witnessed an accident, and the woman who drove the car didn't know what to do. Well, I helped as much as he could. Speaking of dash cam, it's a really good idea, until smb smashed the glass in your car and pulled it out ... I even recently witnessed such a breaking into a car. It was evening and I heard the sound of breaking glass in the neighboring yard. I went out to look what was happening with the neighbors, and there the owner of the car was already fighting with the thief. I ran up to help him and after I caught the thief it turned out that he managed to hit my neighbor very hard on the head, so then the help of the personal injury attorney los Angeles was needed to prove the thief's guilt.

Thanks, the article is very useful. A lot of drivers that get into car accidents don't know what to do, and this information could be helpful for them. I remember when I got into my first accident, It was 3 years ago. I hit a car in an intersection, I got so scared, I didn't know what to do. I was lucky that before that I hired a lawyer from https://www.accidenteayuda.com/, a friend of mine recommended doing that. So again thanks very much for the article, I will show it to my wife, she is a beginner driver.
