Don't Get In A Hurry...Work Safely!
Dont get in a hurry! Work Safely!

You were struck and its clearly not your fault! If at all possible, dont remove your vehicle until the police arrive, allowing them to view and ensure whatever evidence which may be important.Dont get in a hurry! Work Safely!

DEALING WITH THE EYE WITNESS, IF INDEED THERE IS ONE: You MUST have a pad, pencil and/or pen with you (best place to keep them is in your glove compartment)however its not a good idea to ask, Did you witness this? More often than not that will turn them off!
Its much better to ask, What happened here? If the individual is willing to talk dont insist, Give me a written statement, because that seems too formal or demanding. Since youre obviously busy, hand them the pad and pen and say something like, Please, while I take some photograph (or whatever) just write down what you saw. Then go on about your business.
When that person is finished you should thank them profoundly and say something like, Ill go over this later. In case I cant make something out, please, give me your name and a phone number where I can reach you if I have any questions.
More often than not if you read their statement and then insist, Sign this, youll put them on the defensive. With a statement in their handwriting, it can later be concluded that the statement is indeed theirs. If they sign it great, but dont make an issue of it.
Cold Weather And Your Air Tools

"Why not" ? you may ask. The answer to that is simple,"Because you want them on your side"!Most people are accustomed to changing the oil in the cars before the winter season. Don't forget your air tools as well.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: Because a witness may seem credible and may believe what theyre saying is true doesnt mean theyre correct. Credibility and honesty have nothing to do with it - - especially if their memories slip a bit. Thats why you should try to get it in writing!
REFUSING MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE SCENE
Many people (even when they feel pain) will refuse medical attention at the scene and go home. Then, after several hours of increasing pain, theyll need help. Should they end up dealing with the typical Insurance Adjuster (who is quick to assume theyre being conned by a crooked individual) theyre told that the pain they allegedly felt had nothing to do with an injury!
Thats the biggest reason why one should immediately, either by ambulance(or somehow)demand they be brought to the closest Emergency Room.

Dont listen to the other operator who may say, Hey, well handle this ourselves.
YOU MUST NEVER FORGET: The individual making such a statement may possibly tell a completely different story (than the one they kinda like stick to and tell you at the scene) when the matter is discussed with the police and/or their own insurance company.
ALSO: Theres a Time-Lapse Of Memory thing which (more often than not) comes into play. Many times witnesss are much better at articulating a circumstance - - even if theyre dead wrong!
