What to do if you witness an accident while driving

Assess the collision for any immediately apparent injuries. If you notice any injured parties, give this information to the 911 dispatcher. Missouri’s Good Samaritan Law applies to some witnesses in car accident cases. According to this law, physicians, registered nurses, and other trained emergency technicians can legally render emergency services outside of the healthcare setting without facing liability for their actions (unless the individual willfully or wantonly causes harm).
