First Aid
If someone is involved in an accident or is the first person on the scene of an accident, first aid ("Erste Hilfe") must be given. This person must also call the police and/or an ambulance. Should you leave the scene of an accident without giving first aid, you could be prosecuted for failing to render assistance ("unterlassene Hilfeleistung"). The German Red Cross ("Deutsches Rotes Kreuz" or "DRK" for short) offers regular first aid courses that teach you how to respond in such situations.
