Frequently Asked Questions
How much does speed affect how bad a crash is? Higher speed gives drivers less time to react and increases the force of impact, which generally means more serious injuries and vehicle damage.
Why is distracted driving considered so risky? Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds, to check a phone or adjust a dashboard screen, means traveling a long distance essentially blind, raising the odds of a crash.
What should I do right after a car accident? Check yourself and others for injuries, call 911, move to a safe spot if possible, and exchange information with other drivers while waiting for responders.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Berlin, MD
If you're involved in a crash in Berlin, start by making sure everyone is safe and calling for emergency help. Even if injuries seem minor, it's worth getting checked by a medical provider, since some injuries like whiplash or internal bruising don't show symptoms right away. Remember to take photos of the scene if you're able, note the time and location, and get contact information for anyone involved or who witnessed it. Once you're safe, make sure to file a report with local police if one wasn't already taken at the scene, and keep copies of any medical records or repair estimates for your own files.
