A Lafayette County, MO Auto Accident Lawyer Explains Why It Is Important To Stay In Your Vehicle After A Highway Crash

Recently, four people were killed and another was seriously injured after a car wreck in Miami. The victims were not injured in the accident, but were run over after getting out of their vehicles to check if others were injured.

Every day, minor accidents and breakdowns become fatal tragedies because victims did not stay in their cars. The Lafayette County, MO auto accident lawyers at Roswold Law Firm have created these guidelines to help you stay safe if you are ever in a Missouri car accident.

1. Stay in your car! After an accident, your natural response is to get out of the vehicle and check for damages. Instead, if it is possible, get your vehicle off the road. Stay inside the car and activate the emergency flashers so you can be seen by approaching drivers.

2. Leave your seat belt on to protect you if you are hit again.

3. If, for safety reasons, you must get out of the car, get out on the side that is away from traffic. Get as far away from traffic as possible. If you can, stand behind a barrier. Do not stand in front or behind your vehicle as your car may be struck again.

4. Call 911 and let them know that the accident occurred and that you are stranded in your vehicle or on the side of the road.
