As the termination dust covers Alaska's mountains, driving conditions deteriorate. Wear your seat belt at all times. If you are in an auto accident, to protect yourself and insure that your legal rights will not be adversely affected, make sure you do the following:

•Stop. A hit and run offense is a crime.

•Call the police.

•Exchange information with the other driver(s)-name, address, phone number, license plate, driver's license number, insurance information, etc.

•Get the names, numbers and addresses of all witnesses.

•Do not admit that you are at fault.

•If possible, call your lawyer before you give any statements to anyone.

•Don't refuse to take a breath test if an officer requests it. Failure to take the test is a crime.

•Take pictures of the accident scene.

•Don't move your car if possible until police tell you to.

•If you might be injured, see a doctor right away.

•Don't wait too long to pursue your potential claim. The statute of limitations may prevent you from suing if you wait too long.
