Car Accident Management Guide – Checklist To Stay Prepared

What would you do if you are involved in a car accident?  What would you do if a friend or family member is involved in a car accident and you’re around? 

We don’t often ask this question to ourselves or many have never thought of it for two reasons; one being confident that we wouldn’t have an accident and the other being we would avoid a negative thought for now and worry only when something happens.
