The last time I took a first aid class, which was admittedly a long time ago, I was told to quickly check: wrist, neck, and wallet (only if readily available).

If you have a critical medical condition, it probably needs to be documented in one of those three places. Cell phones, purses, helmets, etc. probably don't get looked at until well after your condition has been stabilized... assuming they survive the crash. In some cases your personal effects (cell phone, helmet, wallet/purse) may end up in one location (ex: police) while your body is in another location (ex: hospital).
