Injuries after a traffic accident can range from minor cuts and bruises to serious or life-threatening trauma. The first priority is to prevent further danger, contact the emergency services when necessary and provide appropriate assistance within your abilities. Avoid moving a seriously injured person unless leaving them in place creates an immediate danger, and follow the instructions of emergency operators or trained responders. Even when injuries initially appear minor, medical assessment may be necessary because some symptoms can develop later.
