Care of the victim
Thursday, February 4, 2010
For every person who dies of a traffic accident injury, hundreds more are injured. Providing good support and care to victims is essential. Appropriate services for the injured can prevent fatalities, reduce the amount of short and long-term disabilities and help victims cope with the impact of injury on their lives.
There is a pressing need to strengthen the quality and availability of pre-hospital trauma care throughout the world. Simple measures such as positioning the victim correctly while waiting for emergency services can mean the difference between life and death. There is an equally a pressing need to strengthen the quality and availability of trauma care at hospitals and clinics. Many low-cost improvements could be made to enhance the care of injured persons including human (training and staffing) and physical resources (infrastructure, equipment and supplies).
Apart from the physical trauma, every road incident with injuries has psychological consequences. Psychological support is essential for both the person involved in a road crash and for relatives.

A car accident isn't just a physical trauma - it can be a huge financial and legal burden as well, especially if you don't have knowledgeable legal help in your time of need. Whether the car accident was your fault or not, it's a good idea to get in touch with someone who can help you through the difficult and often confusing time that follows an auto accident. A car accident lawyer is an attorney that helps to level the legal playing field after a car accident by informing you of your rights and responsibilities, and providing information on personal injury law and accident claims. Some circumstances surrounding a car accident require that a lawyer be involved, simply because of the complexity of dealing with the issue. For more details do visit us at Car Accidents.
