What to do if you witness an accident while driving

If you are one of these individuals, feel free to render care to injured individuals until help arrives. The law protects you from any civil damages resulting from emergency care in these situations. The law also applies should you render care to a minor without first getting a parent’s permission. If you are not a trained professional, do not give accident victims medical treatment unless they are in imminent danger. You could unknowingly make injuries worse and face liability. You can, however, try to make them as comfortable and calm as possible during the wait.
