While Toledo braces for winter blast that could dump 10 inches of snow on the area by Wednesday afternoon, it's a good idea to keep some tips in mind if you're unfortunate to be involved in an car crash. Toledo auto accident lawyer Charles Boyk includes on the back of his business card his Ten Commandments for people involved in car accidents. Here they are:

6. Thou shalt seek medical treatment immediately.
7. Thou shalt report the accident to your insurance company.

9. Thou shalt accept no payment from the other side without consulting an attorney.
