Learning How to Photograph Car Accident Scenes
Where car accidents and insurance claims are concerned, today’s technology has provided us with several great tools we can use after a crash. One of those tools is the digital camera. With photos of the accident scene in hand, policyholders are much more likely to be able to make a case to their insurance companies for an adequate payout.
Key information to record while the incident is still fresh.
After any car accident, if you are injured or your car is damaged, there are several types of key information to gather and write down while you're still at the scene.
Even a Minor Accident Can Cause Childhood Trauma
Any unusual behavior that begins shortly after a severely frightening episode may indicate that your child is traumatized. Compulsive, repetitive mannerisms, such as repeatedly zooming a toy car into a doll, are an almost sure sign of unresolved trauma. Other signs of traumatic stress include tantrums, uncontrollable rage attacks, hyperactivity, thrashing while asleep, bedwetting, inability to concentrate in school, excessive belligerence, or fearful shyness.

Look, no hands
IN AN average month 108,000 people are killed in traffic accidents around the world, and the death toll is increasing. On current trends it will exceed 150,000 people a month by 2020, according to the World Health Organisation, as cars become more widespread in developing countries, increasing the number of vehicles on the world’s roads from around 1 billion in 2010 to 2 billion. Many lives will be spared by outfitting more vehicles with airbags, the biggest lifesavers in car technology since seat belts. But now a far greater revolution in road safety is within reach. Around 90% of accidents are caused by human error. Design vehicles so that they can drive themselves, goes the theory, and death tolls will plummet.
