July Safety & Your Rights: Don’t Let a Crash Ruin Your Summer!

On Behalf of | Jul 14, 2025 | Firm News

July is here, bringing sunshine, road trips, and unfortunately, a spike in car accidents. As our communities in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia hit the roads for summer fun, the risk of distracted drivers, road rage, and congested highways goes up.

At Lewis & Tompkins, we’re here to ensure that if the unexpected happens, your summer isn’t ruined by confusing insurance claims or mounting medical bills. We fight for your full recovery, so you can focus on healing.


What to Do in the First 15 Minutes After a Crash (Crucial Tips!)

A car accident is chaotic, but your actions immediately afterward are critical for your safety and any future claim.

✅ 3 Immediate DO’s:

  1. Prioritize Safety: Move to a safe spot if possible.
  2. Call Police & Medics: Get an official report and medical check (even if you feel “fine” initially).
  3. Document EVERYTHING: Photos of damage, scene, licenses, witness info.

❌ 3 Critical DON’Ts:

  1. DON’T Admit Fault: Never say “I’m sorry” or take blame.
  2. DON’T Discuss Injuries: Only tell medics your symptoms; don’t minimize anything.
  3. DON’T Accept Quick Offers: Don’t sign anything from the other driver or insurer at the scene.

Knowing these steps can protect your health and your rights.
