How did you do on the quiz?
Take the number you got right and multiply it by 20 to see your percentage score. The average person only gets about half right.
If you or a loved one is involved in an accident or injury, knowing what to do can save a life. Before doing any of the above in a critical situation, stop and call 911 first. This will assure help is on the way while you attend to the injured or yourself.
After you or your family member has received medical care, contact an experienced accident and injury attorney who can help you. After the trauma, you will likely have medical visits, specialist appointments, and mountains of paperwork. Don't go at it alone and don't trust the insurance company to fairly compensate you for your damages. Their job is to increase the profit of the business they work for.
