ok i desperatley need to know what injuries to check for after a car accidents, and how to check for them.. like lets say you're supposed to check for rib-injuries, then how do you do it??
First you have to make sure the person is breathing.
That is the first thing you check always. If they
aren't then nothing else matters.
Always assume a head/neck injury is involved in any accident involving an impact. Do not move them unless their life is in danger by remaining where they are. For example if they are not breathing...doesnt really matter what other injuries are sustained. They are dead unless you give rescue breathing and possibly CPR.
