unavoidable, support the head and neck in alignment with the spine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 6: Control Severe Bleeding<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe bleeding can become fatal within minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To control bleeding:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight:

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shock is a life-threatening condition that can follow trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common signs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:

Wait for trained rescue personnel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pedestrian Accidents<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if the victim appears stable, encourage medical evaluation. Internal injuries may appear hours later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Avoid Common Mistakes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In emergency situations, avoid these

stability supports physical recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Legal Protection for Helpers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many countries have Good Samaritan laws protecting individuals
