•    The number of fatalities related to alcohol was 40 percent.

One of the ways to protect yourself and your family if you are involved in a vehicle accident is to carry automobile insurance. In the state of California, there are an estimated 25 percent of drivers that are operating vehicles on the road that are not insured.

The driver that has the protection of liability insurance is covered for any damages that might be caused in the event of a motor vehicle accident and will cover passengers in the vehicle.

When an accident is not the insured drivers fault and the other driver involved in the accident does not have the proper insurance to cover all of the damages or is uninsured the insurance rider will cover the costs that will be incurred.
In the event of a motor vehicle accident, there are several things that should be done that can be vitally important to the injured victim.

Important Steps To Take After An Accident

• Take pictures if possible either with a camera that is carried in the glove compartment or even with a cell phone of the accident scene, the damage to the vehicle and any injuries.
