Application Process

Massachusetts Institute of

of the most prestigious

universities in the world. To

get admitted, you will need

to submit an application and

meet the school’s admission

requirements.

The application process can

be tough, but with a little

effort on your part, it can be

worth it. First, you’ll need to

compile a strong application

package. This includes

assembling transcripts, letters

of recommendation, and

standardized test scores.

Next, make sure that you have

a good academic record.

MIT requires that you have

a 4.0 GPA or higher in all

coursework taken at colleges

or universities attended. Finally,

demonstrate strong leadership

skills by submitting a resume

and writing an essay about

your experience and goals for

Take The SATs Or ACTs

To be considered for admission,

you’ll need anywhere from a

3200 SAT score (for applicants

score (for applicants who have

completed at least 16 years of

schooling). If you’re undecided

about which test to take, we

recommend that you consult

with your guidance counselor

or college admissions officer.

Whatever test you choose,

make sure that you are prepared

to put in the work necessary for

success. The MIT admissions

process is rigorous, so don’t let

yourself get discouraged if your

scores don’t meet the minimum

requirement right away.

Have A Consistent High

GPA

While there are many factors

that contribute to success at

MIT, having a strong academic

record is definitely something

to consider. The admissions

committee looks for students

who have demonstrated

excellence both in academics

and extracurricular activities.

If you can demonstrate that

(2023-2026)

you’re a leader and contributor

on campus, your chances of

getting accepted will be much

higher.

Remember to keep your grades

consistent throughout high

school so that you can provide

the admissions committee with

the most accurate information

possible.

Have Extensive Activities In

School And Outside Of School

Technology (MIT) is one of the

most prestigious universities in

the world. It has an excellent

faculty and a rich history.

for Overseas Engineering

Studies

One of the greatest experiences an engineering student could have is studying abroad.

The opportunity to live in another country while getting an engineering degree is in fact

the major reason why many international students decide to take this step.

However, to make the transition go smoothly, there are a few tasks that every student must

complete before they get on the plane and fly off to their new home. This mainly refers to

compiling all of the necessary paperwork and making arrangements so you can settle in nicely.

It is important that you do all these steps in a timely manner in order to avoid missing deadlines

or other serious troubles along the way.

Fortunately for you, we have decided to help you in the process and give you a checklist

of everything you need to get done before your departure. This list will help you avoid any

unnecessary stress and prepare you thoroughly for your studies abroad.

Gather all necessary documents

The first and the most important step for a hiccup-free departure is to gather all necessary

documents. This includes everything from having a valid passport and visa to compiling all

paperwork that is needed for applying to your new school or university.

56

Since you will be an international student, you

should make use of certified translation services

for all your personal documents and other

certificates that your new school may require. In

addition, make sure you stay safe by obtaining

good study abroad insurance that covers

any medical services you may need or travel

emergencies you may encounter.

Research your destination

Another important step you should take to

prepare for your departure is to research your

new destination’s culture and people. This is why

you will have an idea of what to expect when

you move abroad which will definitely make your

experience even more rewarding once you are

there.

For example, you have two options on how to do

your research. You can either buy a travel guide

or just Google what your soon-to-be home offers.

Read up on any customs, habits and traditions

and feel like a local in no time.

Figure out your finances

Another important thing you should definitely

consider before you fly out is figuring out your

money situation. As a rule of thumb, you will

probably spend more money than you are

planning which is why it is important to have

extra cash available in case of any emergencies.

There are a few ways you can arrange your

finances before heading off. For example, you

can start by setting up an online account as it

is the easiest way to manage your money while

abroad.

This way you will be able to withdraw cash from

ATMs in the local currency whenever you need

to purchase something.

Find accommodation

Next on your checklist is to find accommodation

where you will be staying during your studies.

Depending on your study abroad program, the

school or university you will be attending may

offer you its on-campus housing options. This is

one of the most popular choices for international

students because it is a great way to save up on

traveling expenses.

However, if you don’t like this, you can always

search for your own place outside of the

university campus. You can look for private

apartments on multiple lodging sites and choose

an accommodation that best suits your needs

and preferences.

Prepare to fly out

After completing all of the major tasks, your next

step is to get your plane ticket and pack your

essentials.

For example, when you are booking your flight,

make sure you do it three months before you

actually depart because international flights

tend to be most affordable three to four months

in advance. However, it is a good idea to start

tracking prices early because the longer you

wait to buy, the more expensive your tickets may

be.

As for your essentials, be sure you take a change

of clothes, an adapter and other important items

which you will put in your carry-on bag.

Final thoughts

If you are a student who is looking for new

adventures, then studying abroad is an

excellent way to enrich yourself with rewarding

experiences. This is the perfect opportunity to

visit and live in another country while furthering

your studies to get an international engineering

degree.

And in order to have the best time, it is important

that you prepare well for your trip. Gather all

necessary paperwork for a smooth transition

and make all arrangements in order to settle in

your new home nicely. To stay on track, follow

the checklist from our guide and get ready for

your studying abroad.

3 Important

Characteristics of an

Engineering Website

Usability of one of the most crucial aspects of your engineering business website. It is

critical to the success of the website, and you shouldn’t overlook it. Having a usable

website means that it can perform better, and it is responsible for boosting the chances

of success. Furthermore, this can impact revenue and sales within the business. For

your website to be successful, you need to offer the best user experience. Below are three

characteristics of a great business website.

1. Accessibility

A user-friendly website should be accessible to all your users. Therefore, work on creating a

website that will be available to everyone, including the elderly, blind, deaf, and disabled. Such

users will take advantage of screen readers when accessing the internet. Therefore, you need

to create a simple web design that will automatically engage when using a screen reader.

Doing this requires a well-planned website architecture. It will help your audience engage

with all the content that’s available on the site. Nonetheless, this guarantees that you can

have ample information that these screen readers can process. It ensures that such users will

understand your products and services. This can also help gain more visitors and clients to

your business.

60

2. Mobile Compatibility

More and more people use their phones to access the internet. Therefore, creating a mobileoptimized

website is necessary. Furthermore, the first step towards creating a mobile-compatible

website is checking how the site appears on mobile. You can hire professional testers to find this

out. Doing so enables you to understand the different changes you need to make on the website.

Furthermore, after finding the current issues, you can create a mobile version of the website. The

site ought to have mobile-based content and have free support. Nonetheless, you ought to look for

mobile website builders to help you pinpoint all the necessary characteristics for such a website.

Having a mobile-friendly website makes the content appealing to all your users.

3. Fast Load Times

One of the most annoying things to website visitors is the load times. A website that takes a long

time to load can discourage many visitors and make most of them leave the site. You need to create

a website that takes between four to six seconds to load. This helps improve the usability of the site

and positively impacts your search engine ranking.

There are plenty of tools available online to help test the speed of your website. Some of these tools

can also help improve or provide suggestions on how to improve the speed.

Final Take

Working on the usability of your website can help with its growth. Take time to ensure that you work

with professionals who can help create an accessible, mobile-friendly website with fast load times

during development. Consider all your clients and ensure that you provide them with a usable

website with all the content they might need.

Online Fundraising

Options for Engineering

School Foundations

Fundraising for engineering schools is one of the most effective ways to enrich students’

basic education needs and provide them with extra opportunities. Through these

sponsorships, engineering schools are able to raise money which is then used to benefit

both students and the entire school in general.

64

With the advancements in technology now, engineering schools often opt for online charities

to support different causes and increase their funds. They still follow the basic guidelines of

the traditional school fundraisers, except that sponsors now do all of this remotely using a

reputable donation platform for digital fundraising that not only helps campaigns go smoothly

but also helps them gain new donors.

In addition to building out a comprehensive school fundraising toolkit, staff members, students,

and even parents should also explore their options and look for lucrative online charity events

that will be just as exciting as the traditional bake sales or walk-a-thons.

For more inspiration, here are four online fundraising options you can consider for your next

school fundraising campaign.

Annual fund campaigns

Creating an online annual fund campaign is one of the most effective ways to raise funds. To

do it properly, you will need to build a donation page on your school’s website and encourage

financial support from parents and the community

on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.

On the landing page, be sure to highlight the

impact of each bequest and demonstrate how

donors’ contributions will benefit both the school

and its students.

Causes that can fall under the annual fund

campaign category include raising money for

purchasing new school equipment such as

laptops, interactive boards or particular subject

supplies, organizing informative field trips,

replacing the gym floor, and many others.

Peer-to-peer fundraising

Peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns are

a specific type of crowdfunding in which

individuals organize personal fundraisers to

collect donations from their peers. One of the

main components of these charity events is the

opportunity for fundraisers to individualize the

cause and tell donors how their contributions

can benefit their campaign.

Some popular online peer-to-peer fundraising

ideas include friendly competitions, bake sales,

and holiday parties. This way, you can encourage

people to fundraise on their own terms for the

cause.

If you want to increase revenue even more, allow

remote donors to also be part of the cause by

paying a participation fee and offering their

services as well.

Events registration

If your school hosts fundraising events such as

annual galas or sports tournaments, you can try

selling tickets online. This way you will be giving

sponsors an opportunity to support your school

and raise money for it by making an online event

registration.

If you want to make it more appealing to donors,

you can offer a discount if tickets are bought

early. This makes it easy for people to register for

the event while giving you enough time to gather

attendee information such as email addresses

electronically. You can use this information to

reach out to new potential donors about donating

to your cause at a later time.

Product sale

Probably the easiest and most popular online

fundraising your school can do is to engage in a

product sale. This includes selling items online

on your school’s website and raising money that

will benefit both the school and the students.

Some items you can sell on your website

include school spirit wear, candies, books, and

handmade crafts. Add a shopping list on the

landing page and allow visitors and sponsors to

make their donations at any time.

Once donors make their purchases, inform them

about how to pick up their orders. You can either

mail them to their homes or ask students to

distribute them directly.

Final thoughts

It’s back-to-school season, which means it’s time

for engineering schools to get ready to organize

different events to raise funds.

While many continue to host traditional

fundraisers on their parking lots and in gyms,

other engineering schools take their campaigns

online and allow people to make a donation

from anywhere and at any time. To ensure the

success of your online fundraising campaign,

consider including a donation feature on your

school’s website or using a donation platform.

This will allow donors to contribute quickly and

easily for the benefit of both the school and the

students.

In case you need help along the way, be sure

to refer back to our guide and choose the most

lucrative online fundraising idea for your school.

An Employee Was Injured

Onsite, Now What?

Imagine walking into work and seeing one of your worst nightmares unfolding in front

of your eyes: one of your employees is injured, and it looks serious. As the business

owner, you spring into action, ensuring that an ambulance has been called and that

all other employees are safe. After the chaos dies down, you’re left to wonder—

what happens next?

To prepare for such scenarios, employers should learn more about the workers comp

settlement process and the specific provisions of their workers’ comp insurance

policy.

Breaking Down Workers’ Comp Coverage

This form of insurance is required for businesses in every U.S. state besides Texas.

Depending on where your company operates, you may have the option to purchase

a policy from a private insurance provider. Some states, however, require companies

to invest in coverage from a state fund.

68

When workplace incidents occur, workers’ comp covers the

following:

• Medical expenses related to a workplace injury or illness

• A portion of the wages lost by the employee due to their injury and recovery time

• Compensation for any permanent injuries

• The cost of retraining

• In the case of a workplace fatality, benefits to their survivors

• Some policies may also cover the employer’s legal fees or a portion of settlement

should the employee reject the workers’ comp compensation package.

After a workplace injury occurs and the injured employee has received care, the

compensation process begins:

Step 1: The Employee Files a Claim

If an onsite or work-related accident results in an injury, the injured employee must

report it to their employer.

Once the employer is informed about the injury or illness, the employee has suffered,

they will issue the appropriate forms. The paperwork includes forms that will be issued to

the company’s insurance provider and the state’s compensation board. The documents

also include information about the employee’s rights and the benefits the compensation

provides.

S T O R I E S

Under what circumstances can an employee file a claim? For a worker to claim compensation

under this coverage, the following criteria must be met:

• The worker in question is an employee of the company, not a hired contractor.

• The injury or illness in question was suffered while on duty. The activity taking place when

the injury occurred must be clearly within the scope of their work-related tasks. These can

be activities that were being done offsite.

• The employer must have a workers’ comp policy.

Step 2: The Insurance Provider Responds

Once the paperwork is completed, the forms, along with a medical report from the employee’s

doctor, are sent to the insurance provider. Based on the information provided, the insurer

will decide whether to honor the claim or deny it. If a claim is denied, the employee can

pursue an appeal.

Each state has a different policy for how workers’ comp benefits are calculated. In general,

the compensation packages include payment for:

• Temporary total disability

• Temporary partial disability

• Permanent disability

• Reimbursement of medical expenses

Step 3: The Employee Accepts or Rejects the Insurance Offer

In most cases, the injured employee will accept the compensation package offered by the

insurance provider. However, if an employee feels that the compensation is inadequate,

they have the right to pursue a settlement from the employer. Their options include:

• Accepting the compensation offer as-is

• Negotiating a more substantial structured compensation- If the employee feels the value

of the compensation package offered will not adequately cover their medical care or their

loss of income, they can attempt to negotiate a payment plan with the employer.

• Negotiating a lump sum payoff- The employee can choose to pursue a one-off settlement

with the employer. This lump sum would include an estimation of total medical expenses

and disability payments.

If the two parties formally agree on a deal, the case is closed and cannot be revisited.

Protection for You, and Your Employees

Workplace injuries are unfortunate and difficult to deal with; however, they are not uncommon.

While you may not want to think of this reality, as an employer, it’s your responsibility to

prevent workplace injury, provide workers’ comp coverage, and to respond appropriately

should an accident occur.

Fortunately, workers’ compensation insurance provides a clear path forward when injuries

happen. The design of workers’ comp coverage is twofold: it protects employees by

guaranteeing compensation and care, and it protects employers from financial ruin should

a costly accident arise.

To secure the well-being of your business and employees, be sure to regularly review your

workers’ comp policy and consider an upgrade.

Engineering Careers:

Coping with On the Job

Travel

For professional engineers, visiting all sorts of sites and locations worldwide can

be a regular fixture of their job. In fact, some end up spending so much time away

from home that they abandon having a central base of actions altogether. However,

as anyone that is regularly away from home will tell you, on the job travel can be

draining. The good news is that there are some smart tactics you can use to make the

experience go as smoothly as possible. Therefore, ensuring you are well-rested enough to

supply the accuracy and good judgment that working as an engineer requires.

Choose a carry on only.

It may seem simple, but opting to cake just a carry on can save you a great deal of time

and hassle when travelling by plane for work. In fact, it means that you don’t have to check

in your luggage beforehand. Also, you won’t have to suffer through the long wait until the

76

baggage carousel springs into motion once your flight is over. Therefore allowing you to meet

your clients or make your transport link to the sites on which you will be working much more

quickly and efficiently.

frameborder=”0” allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-inpicture”

allowfullscreen></iframe>

You can also be sure that any valuable equipment or necessary plans and blueprints that you

are carrying are safe. After all, apart from a brief jaunt through the x-ray machine will remain

with you at all times.

Stay organised and in contact.

Next, if you find yourself travelling from one location to the next, it can be tough to stay in

contact with your clients and customers. Not to mention your nearest and dearest. In fact,

combine this with a situation where a client needs to send physical documents, and you can

have a real problem if you have no single physical base of operations.

Luckily, there is a tactic that you can use to work around such an issue. Is it to use a service

like the one physicaladdress offers. This is because it allows real-life mail to be sent to one

professional address. Then the contents are digitally scanned and forwarded to you online.

This means that no matter where your engineering work takes you, you can be sure you won’t

miss any critical client correspondence. In turn, that means you won’t have to deal with the

delay in projects that this can cause, either.

Opt for an upgrade where possible.

When it comes to engineering as a career, to operate effectively, you must be well-rested

enough to be accurate in your measurements and calculations. You also need to be alert

enough to truly hear what your client is saying to you concerning the problems you need to

solve.

Of course, being stuck on a cramped, a noisy, long haul flight isn’t conducive to these states in

any way. That is why, wherever possible, it’s best to upgrade to business class. At least then,

you will have the facilities to hand that you need to get a decent rest. Thus allowing you to be

on top of your game, as you touch down in your next location.

5 Tips for When You

Marry Military Engineer

Marrying someone in the military

means making sacrifices that a

traditional married person might

not have to make. That might

mean moving around a lot and being home

by yourself or with the children for months

at a time. Finding ways to cope with being a

military engineer spouse can help make the

transition from civilian life a little bit easier.

Here are five tips to take into consideration

when you marry someone in the military.

1. Learn to Cope During

Deployment Periods

You may have to go months without seeing

your spouse during deployment, so consider

how you’ll manage your home, bills and other

responsibilities on your own. You might be

living far away from your family, so you’ll have

to get used to doing things on your own, such

as cleaning the house, doing the laundry and

taking care of the children. On the plus side,

you’ll be able to enjoy military benefits, such

as military engineer pay, military engineer

spouse and family healthcare, a basic

allowance for housing (BAH), recreation

benefits and childcare benefits.

2. Get Used to Moving Around

It’s a well-known fact that military families

often move around a lot, which can be quite

a challenge, especially if you have children.

80

You’ll have to deal with helping them transition

from school to school and making new friends

all over again. You might get homesick when

moving to a new place, but on the positive

side of things, you’ll get to experience

different parts of the country (or maybe even

the world), which could mean you’ll always

have an interesting story to tell. Try to find the

silver lining and keep an open mind whenever

you move to a new place.

3. Find the Right Insurance

Coverage

The last thing you want is to break down on the

side of the road when your spouse and family

are miles away and can’t do anything to help

you, especially if you have your little ones in

the car with you. That’s why finding the right

insurance coverage is of utmost importance.

With USAA, you’ll get a comprehensive auto

insurance policy that saves you hundreds

of dollars each year compared to other

providers. You’ll also get accident forgiveness

and plenty of options based on your vehicle

and your driving record. You can also bundle

your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance to

save up to 10 percent.

4. Get Help Raising Your Family

Raising children in the military is different than

raising children in civilian life. You’ll have to

explain why your spouse is gone so often,

which might not be easy, depending on how

old your children are. You’ll also have the bulk

of parental responsibilities. Not to mention,

you’ll also have to deal with disciplining them

on your own and making sure their emotional

needs are met. You’ll be responsible for

teaching your children right from wrong and

how to care for themselves as they grow. All of

this can be overwhelming, especially during

deployment when the sole responsibility falls

in your lap. Get the help you need from family

members (if possible) or outside help from a

nanny using your military engineer benefits.

5. Continue to Pursue Your Own

Interests

Make time to get out and meet new people,

because being a military engineer spouse can

be lonely sometimes. Find your own interests

and hobbies to pursue so that you don’t

spend all of your time waiting for your spouse

to get back. It’s perfectly okay to have a life

of your own while your spouse is deployed.

Whether you decide to join a book club, learn

to play an instrument, take a writing class or

join an improv class, you can find something

that interests you outside of your marriage.

Get someone to watch the children at least

once a week so that you can take some time

for yourself to do what you enjoy doing.

Adjusting to Life as a Military

Engineer Spouse

Marrying someone in the military doesn’t mean

you’ll always be alone. It just means making

certain life adjustments. You’ll get to make

new friends all over the world, learn about

different cultures and enjoy all of the benefits

that come with being a military spouse. You’ll

also learn to be more independent and be

more inclined to pursue outside interests.

Marrying military also means finding ways to

care for and protect your loved ones, whether

that means hiring help or finding the right auto

insurance.

What is Operational

Definition

If you’re someone who is constantly working in quantifying different kinds of data, then

you’re going to want to know what operational definition is.

In essence, when the phrase “operational definition” is used in terms of data, it refers to a

concise and thorough definition of the measurement. To better explain this, it means that all

parts of your data collection will be explicitly explained.

Operational definition can be used for collecting a wide variety of data points and it can be

essential for knowing the true metrics of the data points. Operational definition can be most

usefill when there is a dispute after the data is collected about whether or not all of the data

points were collected correctly. It can even be used for visual data points and it can help with

visual checks if multiple data collectors are arguing about any points of confusion.

Operational definition is most helpful when it is fully outlined before any of the data collection

begins. Then there will be no confusion amongst team members about what data points

count for what.

When Can Operational Definition Be Used?

Operational definition can be used almost anytime that data is going to be collected. It will

save researchers a significant amount of time in the long run since everyone will be on the

84

same page from the very beginning. It will also ensure that the results that come back from all of

the tests are accurate.

It is extremely important that the operational definition be as detailed as possible because everyone

has a different perception of the world, including each of your researchers. To avoid confusion,

you’ll want to make the instructions as detailed as humanly possible.

There are six key points to include in your operational definition to ensure that your instructions

are clear.

Steps To Create the Perfect Operational Definition

1) Determine What the Test Is Revolving Around

Your team will need to know what characteristic is being measured.

2) Select Your Measuring Instrument

The measuring instrument that you choose can be something physical such as a scale to measure

weight or a clock to determine the amount of time that has passed. However, the measuring

instrument can also be a visual test. If you’re ever going to use eyesight as the measuring tool of

choice, you’ll want to express if normal eyesight will work or if a magnifying glass will be needed

as well.

3) Explicitly Explain The Testing Method

This is the part where the actual test will be explained in depth so your researchers are fully aware

of what is going on. You’ll want to explain what measurements the tests are taking place in as well.

4) State How Decisions Should Be Made

Tell all of your researchers what they should be determining at the end of the test and how they

should be determining it. If this isn’t clearly defined, then the test won’t bring about accurate results.

5) Check That Your Researchers Understand The Operational Definition

Once you have all the other metrics in place, check with your researchers to make sure that they

understand all of the metrics as they should be taking place.

the lace. Pull on boots don’t have laces and are mostly waterproof. They are used by outdoor

workers like welders, construction workers and firefighters.

2. Good Quality: Since work boots never go out of style, buying a good quality and durable

pair of work boots can be a good investment. While choosing, look for the material of its

composition. Leather boots are extremely durable and since they tend to take on the shape

88

of your feet, they are very comfortable too. For

best quality, go for the full grain leather boots.

These can be identified by their grainy, rugged

texture. Full grain leather is stronger and is likely

to last you for years to come. The craftsmanship

is another important factor that determines the

quality of boots. A well-crafted pair of shoes

tend to last longer.

3. Check the Soles: While buying work boots,

ensure that your shoes are well cushioned and

your feet are pain-free as you work through your

day. Look for cement constructed boots for

improved shelf life. Most work boots come with

replaceable insoles. A good arch supporting

insole not only keeps you comfortable but also

protects you from knee and joint pains. Outdoor

workers should opt for slip resistant soles to

avoid slipping in work areas.

4. Look out for the safety features: Given that

work boots are mostly worn by men who work

outdoors like engineers on a construction site,

most of them come with various safety features

like steel caps to provide safety. Features like

an anti-slip sole, water resistance and electric

shock resistance are some of the sought-after

features to look out. Choose a pair that provides

good protection to your feet.

5. Comfort: Comfort is one of the most important

things to look for, while buying work boots. Since

work boots may take a while to break in and fit

smoothly, to ensure maximum comfort, find a

work boot that fits you well. To buy the correct

fit online, measure your foot size in centimeters

and then match it to the size chart. In case, one

foot of yours is slightly bigger than the other, go

for the larger foot size. For a comfortable fit, the

toe cap should fit well and your arches should

be comfortable. Lace boots provide better foot

support and are easily adjustable.

Styling your Work Boots

Once worn primarily by workers, these chunky

boots have been fashionably adopted by

suave, fashion forward men. Most work boots

are versatile and can be styled in various ways.

Pair your tan work boots with heavy selvedge

denim for a casual look. Since these boots are

masculine, they go well with military inspired

jackets, flannel shirts and jumpers. Work boots

have a rugged look and shouldn’t be paired with

formals like formal trousers.

Conclusion

A good pair of work boots is durable and can

be used for ages. While buying a new pair,

look out for the quality of the material and its

craftsmanship to ensure you buy pair that stays.

Since work boots often take a while to break in,

it’s advisable to wear thick socks with it to avoid

discomfort and blisters. As work boots are low

maintenance, they just require cleaning once

in a while. When dirty, dust them off with a dry

piece of cloth.

Finally, if you plan to buy durable work boots

online, don’t just go for what looks good.

Additionally, make sure you know the material

composition, the type of sole, the safety features

and most importantly it fits you well!

Top 5 Things to Do

After an Accident

The aftermath of a car accident ranges from emotional to outright traumatic.

There’s a lot of adrenaline flowing, and that’s true even if no one is seriously

hurt. That’s why you need to know now what to do if you’re in a car wreck.

Here are the top 5 things to do after an auto accident. We’ll also explain

why these actions matter so much.

Check for Injuries

Once you’ve stopped, start checking yourself and others for injuries. If it is safe

to do so, check those in the other car for injuries. If anyone is seriously injured,

call 911 and request an ambulance. If it is necessary, you may need to get to

safety. For example, a car that’s been thrown into ongoing traffic may get hit

again. If you can, move the car out of the way of oncoming vehicles. However,

that’s a lower priority than taking care of anyone who is hurt.

Document As Much As Possible Yourself

Don’t leave everything in the hands of the police. Take pictures of your car

from all sides. Take pictures of their car, as well. Don’t forget to get a picture

of their license plate in case they give you false information or are driving

someone else’s car. Take a picture of their driver’s license and insurance card,

because this is probably more accurate than hand-written notes. Capture the

current road conditions, in case this is relevant to determining fault later. Take

pictures of cross-streets to prove where you were. Ask everyone involved for

their contact information, in case you need them to make witness statements

later.

A side benefit of documenting all of this yourself is that it ensures you have

this information in case the other person leaves before a police report can be

made.

Call the Police

In some states, you’re required to report any accident, including fender benders,

to the police. This allows them to fill out an accident report and document the

scene. In the rest of the country, you want the police report so that you have a

neutral third party account of the accident. Furthermore, only a police officer

can prove one of the parties is drunk or otherwise in violation of the law. If

the police decide not to come out, you’ve already documented as much as

possible.

Wait for Help

Always wait until everyone’s needs have been tended to. Do not leave after

calling for an ambulance. You’re legally required to stay until first responders

have arrived take care of the injured. If you have asked police to come out, you

can’t leave even if you think you’re not at fault.

When the police arrive, get their names and badge numbers. Try to get a copy

of the police report. If that’s not possible, find out the police report number.

Your insurance company may ask for that information when you file the claim.

Notify Your Insurer

Notifying your insurer is among the last things to do after an accident. You

could call them while you’re at the accident scene. They may be able to tell

you what information they need to speed up the claims process. Or they could

explain the claims process to you. This could help you pass the time while

waiting for help to arrive.
