Introduction
If you’ve been involved in a collision as a driver, passenger or pedestrian, witnessed or assisted at the scene of a crash, or are affected as a family member, this information is for you.
After a traumatic experience you may find it hard to cope and it may take a while to come to terms with what has happened. Immediately following the event you may experience feelings such as fear, helplessness, horror, sadness, guilt, and anger. These feelings are normal, and most people find that they become less intense after the first week or two.
