First Aid Treatment for Victims of Road Traffic Accidents
The following first aid treatments should be administered to victims of road traffic accidents:
(i) The first step to take if you are involved in a road traffic accident is to check yourself for signs of any injuries. This is important because you need to be fit first before you can help others.
(ii) Check others for signs of injuries and the level or extent of injuries. The quietest victims have probably suffered the gravest injuries, so treat them first before the ones who can speak.
