Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do right after a car accident?
Move to a safe spot if possible, call 911, and avoid moving anyone who may be seriously hurt until medical help arrives. Exchange information with the other driver and note what you remember about the scene.
Where do most traffic crashes happen?
Intersections are common crash sites because they involve vehicles crossing or turning through each other's paths, often at speed and with limited reaction time.
What injuries are common after a crash like this?
Crashes involving rollovers or entrapment often cause head, neck, chest, and limb injuries from impact or from being pinned. Some injuries aren't obvious right away, so a medical check afterward is worthwhile even if someone feels fine.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Powhatan, VA
If you're involved in a crash in Powhatan, stay as calm as possible and check yourself and others for injuries before doing anything else. Call 911 so responders and law enforcement can reach the scene quickly, especially if anyone is trapped or unable to move. Once you're safe, get a medical evaluation even for minor aches, since some injuries show up hours or days later. Keep a copy of the police report and any photos from the scene, and follow up with your doctor if symptoms change. Giving yourself time to recover, physically and otherwise, matters as much as the paperwork.
