1. **ALWAYS** call “911”, no matter how much the other driver offers to immediately “settle” the case with you.
2. **NEVER admit fault.**
3. If possible, make sure that none of the vehicles involved are moved from where they came to rest as a result of the collision until after the police arrive and make a report.
4. If you are physically able, immediately collect complete insurance information from all drivers who were involved in the crash.
5. Seek immediate medical treatment.

### THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND
While insurance company representatives may appear to be friendly, remember that their sole aim is to protect company profits. Insurance companies accomplish this goal either by denying a claim altogether, or else by paying out as little as possible, no matter how serious your injuries.
In the District of Columbia, Maryland, and other nearby states with no-fault insurance laws, insurance companies may not put a great deal of time and effort into investigating car accidents, with the result being that the real reason for many auto accidents is never discovered.
The result, unfortunately, is that this failure to investigate by insurance companies then prevents many auto accident victims from recovering to the full extent to which they are legally entitled.
When vehicular accidents result in extremely serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, blunt force trauma, back/ neck/ and spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and wrongful death, **your case demands the work of attorneys with medical knowledge and expertise**.
How well the medical issues involved in an accident case are understood and argued can make the difference between a paltry settlement and a very substantial settlement or verdict. With a legal staff that includes medical doctors, we are committed to mastering the medicine in your case, which can make all the difference in the world to you and your loved ones!
