You first need to make sure that their airway is open and clear of anything that could fall into it (i.e. food, dentures, loose teeth if have head trauma etc.).

Then make sure they are breathing adequately

Check their pulse and make sure their heart is beating at the appropriate rate for their age. Make sure there's no life threatening bleeding

If there is no pulse and/or breathing begin CPR and notify 911

Why is it important for emergency service workers to get vital signs from accident victims?

Vital signs are an indication of the patient's condition and can help diagnose problems. A pulse that is strong is an indication of a stable patient, for example. One that is weak and thready may indicate the patient is in shock or has other injuries. So the vital signs give the workers an indication of what needs to be done in order to stabilize and transport the patient.
