Our driver talked to me about an incident yesterday he witnessed at an accident scene. The driver of the car that got ran into from behind went to the driver of the car that hit them and asked them if they had any money in their pocket they were going to give them. This is a real sorry person trying to extort money from someone at an accident scene.
We want to let everyone know not to ever give anyone money at an accident scene and don't ever feel like that is something you are supposed to do or you are obligated to do. That could possibly used against the person giving the money.
We would also advise everyone to start recording using their phones as soon as you get out of your car. Just to make sure you have everything documented prior to law enforcement arriving. This will keep the facts of the incident on record. People are now changing their stories after they leave the accident scene or after law enforcement gets there.
Please make sure you do your best at that time to protect yourself from liabilities. There are so many uninsured drivers in the state of MS and nothing is being done about it. Uninsured drivers should go straight to jail based on the value of property damage that was done and personal injury caused to other parties.
We have worked two fatalities where an uninsured driver caused the accident. Someone lost their life because a car was on the road that was not legally supposed to be there.
