If you were involved in an automobile accident, these guidelines may help lessen your legal risk, and help assure your health and safety. The first consideration must be for the safety of everyone. In any accident situation, stop at once. Get yourself and any others you can to a position of safety, but do not move anyone...

If you were bitten by a dog, the owner or keeper may be liable for injuries, unless there is evidence of provocation. If you’ve been bitten by a dog, seek medical attention immediately, and contact the police. Request that the dog be impounded, and the owner contacted to verify whether the dog has had rabies shots.

As a homeowner, you have the responsibility of caring not only for those people you invite on to your property, but for those uninvited guests as well. For example, if your property is on a corner lot, and people regularly use the lawn as a shortcut, and you do not attempt to prevent them from crossing, then you are liable if they trip and fall.
