  • Don’t leave the accident site unless a police officer gives you permission.
  • Don’t wait for a police officer or emergency medical vehicle in a dangerous area. If you sustain more injuries it will difficult to ascertain which ones were derived from the auto accident.
  • Don’t discard anything that could be considered evidence in your case including ripped or bloody clothes or broken car parts.
