When we encounter an injured person in a traffic accident, the first thing we must do is **assess the condition of the injured**. This involves evaluating whether the injured person responds, either by answering or moving. If the injured person responds, we should observe if they have any bleeding, burns, or fractures and monitor any changes in their condition. If the injured person does not respond, it is important to check if they are breathing, as they might be unconscious.

It is essential **not to move the injured person** unless it is absolutely necessary to put them to safety, as moving them incorrectly could worsen their injuries. Additionally, we must protect the injured person's neck from sudden movements and not remove their helmet if they are wearing one.

In case of doubt about how to act, it is better to talk to the injured and offer them emotional support without touching or moving them, to avoid aggravating their injuries. Therefore, knowing the condition of the injured is the first crucial step in providing them with the appropriate help.
