If involved in an accident resulting in injury or property damage, which action is required?

In the event of an accident that results in injury or property damage, it is required to stop and provide assistance if necessary. This response is based on the legal and ethical obligations of drivers involved in accidents. Stopping ensures that you can check on the well-being of those involved and provide or seek medical help if injuries exist. It's crucial to remain at the scene until appropriate measures have been taken for assistance or until law enforcement arrives.

Providing assistance may include calling for medical help, helping injured persons if you are trained to do so, or providing comfort until help arrives. Failing to stop could potentially lead to charges of hit-and-run, which carry serious legal consequences.

While other options suggest alternative actions, such as leaving the scene to notify authorities or waiting for a tow truck, they do not fulfill the immediate responsibilities of a driver involved in an accident. Additionally, exchanging information only if requested overlooks the proactive responsibility of drivers to communicate and share necessary details regarding the incident.
