BOOM, CRASH, BANG. YouVe
been in an car accident and now
you're standing there, slightly
shocked and wondering what you
should do.
The UNL Student Legal Servi
ces Center estimates that 10 per
cent of the legal problems handled
by the center are related to traf
fic accidents. In conjunction, the
center has published a pamphlet
with suggestions to help protect
your legal position in the case of
an accident.
Shelly Stall, director of the
center, emphasized the import
ance of insurance.
"A lot of students dont get auto
insurance because they're on a
tight budget. I cant tell you how
many people that hurts," Stall said.
"You're not really penalized for
not carrying basic liability until
you get in an accident that's your
fault. And then, the whole situa
tion can be a nightmare."
The law requires minimum lia
bility insurance of $15,000 per
person, $30,000 per accident and
$10,000 property damage. If you
are found responsible for an ac
cident and cannot pay for the
property damage and physical
injury suffered by the injured
parties, your license will be
revoked.
It Is against the law to leave
the scene of an traffic accident,
whether the damage is limited to
property or people are injured,
the pamphlet says. Your car
should be left in the position of
the accident, unless it obstructs
traffic or endangers life.
The pamphlet advises placing
flares or reflectors out to warn
oncoming traffic.
The police should be notified
even if the other driver seems
cooperative and willing to pay for
the damages. A police report may
be helpful in court if you later
have to sue the other driver.
Try to remain calm and ob
serve what is going on around
you while you are waiting for the
police to arrive, 'the pamphlet
suggests. Make diagrams and
notes regarding the accident, and
collect the names, addresses and
phone numbers of witnesses.
By law you are required to fur
nish your name, address, driver's
license number and vehicle regis
tration information to the other
party.
An accident is an emotional
time, and your immediate judge
ment that the accident was your
fault maybe incorrect. Other fac
tors that come to light may change
your opinion about who is at
fault.
Anything you say to the police
or the other driver may be used
against you in court.
If you think you're injured
even slightly, the pamphlet advises
you to see a doctor immediately.
The injury may not appear to be
serious at first. Seeing your doc
tor documents your injury claim
and prevents a legal detrimental
time lapse between the accident
and your report of injury, the
pamphlet says.
By law you are required to
complete and file an accident
report within 10 days of the acci
dent, if an injury occurs as a
result of the accident or if prop
erty damage exceeds $250.
Have an attorney check the
report before sending it in. And,
keep a photocopy of it for your
owji files.
You should notify your insu
rance company immediately. If
you are having problems working
with your company, you should
consult the Student Legal Servi
ces or a private attorney.

Student reaps game show awards
The nationally televised "Wheel
of Fortune" game show has
brightened the holidays for yet
another UNL student.
Pam Dykeman, a sophomore
from Hartington, said her recent
game show appearance netted
her more than $12,000 in win
nings. The 19-year-old business
administration major won a 1985
Dodge Colt Premier (valued at
more than $10,000), a $l,000-giit
certificate from Tiffany's and as
sorted smaller prizes.
, "It was a wild time," Dykeman
said of her trip to the game show
studio in Burbank, Calif. Tve
always watched game shows, and
my parents have always said, Toil
should go do that.' So when the
notice appeared that the "Wheel
of Fortune' people were coming
to town, my mom clipped it out of
the paper and told me to go try
out."
Dykeman and three other UNL
students were picked earlier this
fail to represent the Midwest on
the show's annual "College Week"
special. Last month the four flew
to Burbank at their own expense
and spent a week taping appear
ances on the show.
"It was expensive, with hotel
and plane fair and everything,
but that's all tax deductible from
my winnings," Dykeman said.
"Right now I'm just waiting for my
car...IVe never had a car before.
When I won, I called my dad from
Burbank and told him he was off
the hook, he didn't have to buy
me one now."
The "Wheel of Fortune" segment
featuring Dykeman will air in the
Lincoln viewing area Dec. 27.
