If you have been in a car accident, it is important to know your rights and what you need to do to protect yourself. In general, if you are involved in an accident that results in personal injury, you may be able to sue the other driver. If you are not injured, however, there are some things you can do to protect yourself from potential accidents.

First and foremost, it is important to stay calm. Accidents happen quickly and can be emotionally intense. If you start shouting or crying, the other driver may get angry and drive recklessly. To get more details about a rental car after an accident you may check it here Not My Fault Car Hire.

Second, always keep your hands on the wheel. If you need to use your arms or hands for any reason other than keeping the car in motion, take your hands off the wheel and use alternate methods of control. This includes using a phone holder or steering wheel grip if available.

Third, never drink and drive. Even small amounts of alcohol can impair your ability to drive safely. Also avoid driving if you have been drinking prior to the accident or if you feel intoxicated.

Fourth, make sure all passengers are wearing their seatbelts and buckling them as soon as possible after getting into the car. Even if everyone else is safe, being ejected from a moving vehicle can be fatal.
