Ask the victim loudly and repeatedly, "Are you okay!" If they do not answer the question, it only stands that they are unresponsive.
The best position depends on other issues the victim has. If the victim is conscious and suffering from a shortness of breath, it will be much easier to sit him/her upright. If suffering a CVA, it would be best to lie him/her down at a 15 degree angle. And then there are the different cases in between.
When an unconscious victim is lying on their back, the best way to open their airways is to use the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. This involves tilting the head back slightly by placing one hand on the victim's forehead and using the fingers of the other hand to lift the chin forward. This position helps to lift the tongue away from the back of the throat, clearing the airway for breathing. If spinal injury is suspected, the jaw-thrust maneuver may be preferable, as it minimizes neck movement.
Hi. I would transport the patient in the lateral position, making sure they are facing you should you need to suction their airway or perform other procedures. In regards to airway and breathing, it all depends on whether the patient is maintaining their own airway or not. A patient can quickly obstruct their airway with their tongue, or can slowly aspirate secretions or vomits down their trachea should they be left in the supine position.
If a victim of a simple car accident claims injuries, it is best to talk to your insurance as soon as possible. Your insurance company will then require that the victim's insurance company provides proof of injury. If it is found that the victim is injured, your insurance company will instruct you on the next course of action.
