English Phrases ESL Students Should Learn in the Event of a Car Accident

​When people learn a new language, they often start by reviewing the basics, such as words related to food, clothing, or the days of the week. However, learning language related to emergencies could help to save a life. In the event of a car accident, the ability to use certain phrases can prove quite useful.

Requesting Emergency Assistance
One of the main concerns is knowing how to request emergency assistance. In the event of a major accident, a decent chance exists that someone would call 911 regardless of whether or not a request to do so was made. However, many individuals might drive by a smaller accident that does not seem to have caused a great deal of damage. Even if the accident seems small, the people involved in the accident could be injured. Therefore, you want to make sure you know how to ask a helper to call emergency services.

Directing People How to Handle the Situation
In the event that you are injured in a car accident, a helper might stop and try to offer assistance. Moving your body in a certain way could cause more damage, and you need to know how to make people aware of this information. In other words, you should know how to tell people not to touch you or to move your body as you wait for help from medical professionals.

Asking for Photos
At some point after the situation, you may need to speak with an auto accident lawyer. If you are injured in the accident, however, you may not have the ability to take pictures for yourself. Getting pictures of the immediate damage can prove useful later. Therefore, you may want to ask someone else who is in the car with you or someone who comes to help to take certain photos. You should ensure that you aren’t asking someone who could use the photos against you.

Phone Calls to Relatives and Friends
A car accident, even a minor one, can make you feel frightened. Even when serious damage or injuries do not occur, you may still want to call a relative or a friend to come help you or to chat. You should think about whom you might call in the event of such a situation. Then, you can direct the person who is helping you to call those individuals directly. Make sure that you have the numbers memorized or that you can easily instruct the helper as to how to navigate your phone.

A car accident is an upsetting scenario, and you might feel even more frightened when you and the people helping you do not speak the same language. Knowing some key phrases can bolster your confidence.
