The aim of the study was to identify among the injured in road accidents in the Lipetsk and Voronezh regions the category of persons whose lives could potentially be saved by timely first aid. The subject of a study were «Acts of the forensic medical examination of the corpse» and «The card of the injured in a traffic accident with the list of the realized first aid measures». According to the study 23,4% of injured had a chance to survive in case of timely first aid provision. This finding demonstrates the necessity of first aid provided on the scene of the road crash.
