So
ht steps h

Ste
t J Guss : 3:07ell, the most impo
tnt thing,
ctully, it’s
elly no diffe
ent thn if you’
e inny othe
cccident, you need to check
nd see ifnyone’s he
d.
nd if someone is hut, obviously, c
ll 911. Tke c
e of eme
gency medicl
ssistnce. Fi
stnd fo
emost, if you'e in the middle of the
od, you need to get some
hee s
fe to do tht, get out of the
y, go to
ok s
fe, becuse the one thing th
te don’t
nt to h
ve issecond
y
eck. Bec
use the fist
eck h
s blocked tffic.nd then the thi
d thing tht you
elly
nt to do
gin, it’s no diffe
ent thn
ny othec

ve to cll the police
nd it ptiently fo
them to come outnd investig

In iveo

nd tht insu

nd to coveothe

fi
m tht
elly focuses
nd doeslot of these types of c

odiguez : 5:49
Th
t mkes sense. So
ho'se
llyesponsible in the
ccident though? Is it theiinsu
nce o
is it the peson th
t's diving?
Ste
t J Guss : 5:58 So tht’s
vey, ve
y good question.nd it c
n vylittle bit f
om stte to st
te in tems of
ho'sctu
lly going to be sued. So foex
mple, I don't nt to go too f off topic, but it Louisin
it's something clled
diect
ction stte. So if the
e'spe

intiffs in Louisin
, fo lge pt, cn
ctully sue the insu

s, foex

nse
to youquestion,
nd I love doing this, becuse eve
ything isl
ys mo

eto you
