That innocent weekend photo could become evidence in your personal injury claim. 📱

After an accident, insurance companies and defense attorneys may review your public social media activity for information that appears inconsistent with your reported injuries.

Even something as simple as a photo from a family outing could be taken out of context to question the severity of your injuries.

That doesn't mean you need to disappear from social media, but it's important to be mindful of what you share. And don't delete potentially relevant posts without speaking to your attorney.

Pedestrian accidents can result in serious injuries, expensive medical treatment, and weeks or months away from work.

But who is responsible for covering those costs?

The answer depends on several factors, including where the accident happened, who was at fault, and what insurance coverage is available.

Potential sources of compensation may include:

✅ The at-fault driver's liability insurance

✅ Applicable personal injury protection or medical payments coverage

✅ Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage

Depending on the circumstances, an injured pedestrian may be able to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Because Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. have different liability and insurance rules, it's important to understand which laws apply to your accident.

Not every car accident injury causes immediate pain.

Some people walk away from an accident feeling fine, only to experience neck pain, back pain, headaches, or other symptoms hours or days later.

Here's what you should know:

✅ Seek medical attention when symptoms appear.

✅ Tell your healthcare provider about the accident.

✅ Keep records of your symptoms, appointments, and treatment.

✅ Avoid assuming you have no legal options just because your pain started later.

Delayed symptoms don't automatically prevent you from pursuing a personal injury claim. However, waiting too long to seek treatment or legal advice can make your case more difficult.

At Lewis & Tompkins, P.C., we have over 40 years of litigation experience helping injured individuals navigate the legal process.

Getting a settlement offer after a car accident might feel like a relief, especially when medical bills are piling up.

But accepting that first offer could be a costly mistake.

Insurance companies may offer a quick settlement before you fully understand the extent of your injuries or the long-term costs of your recovery.

Before accepting, consider:

✅ Have all your medical expenses been accounted for?

✅ Will you need ongoing treatment?

✅ Have you missed work or lost income?

✅ Could your injuries affect your ability to work in the future?

Once you sign a final settlement agreement, you generally cannot go back and ask for more compensation.

At Lewis & Tompkins, P.C., we help accident victims understand their rights before making important decisions.

The moments after a car accident can be overwhelming, but what you do next can matter.

Prioritize your safety, seek medical attention when needed, document the scene if you can, exchange information with the other driver, and keep records related to the accident and your injuries.

Before navigating an injury claim on your own, consider speaking with an experienced personal injury attorney about your options.

Personal injury claims are subject to deadlines, and waiting can also make it harder to preserve important evidence.

Building a case may involve gathering medical records, obtaining witness statements, reviewing accident evidence, communicating with insurance companies, and determining which laws and deadlines apply.

That’s why it can be helpful to speak with an attorney sooner rather than later after a serious accident.

Motorcyclists have the same right to the road as everyone else, but after a crash, determining fault and dealing with insurance companies can become complicated.

Evidence from the scene, witness statements, medical documentation, vehicle damage, and the circumstances leading up to the collision can all matter.

If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, you don’t have to figure out the legal process alone.

There are legal deadlines for bringing personal injury claims, known as statutes of limitations.
But the deadline isn’t the only reason acting quickly matters.

Evidence can disappear. Witnesses can become harder to locate. Memories can fade. Medical and accident records need to be gathered.

If you’ve been seriously injured in an accident, getting legal advice early can help you understand your options before important deadlines pass.

The moments after a car accident can be overwhelming. If you’re able, focus on protecting yourself and documenting what happened.

1. Get to a safe location and seek medical attention
2. Take photos and videos of the scene and damage
3. Get contact and insurance information from those involved
4. Keep records of medical care, missed work, and accident-related expenses

And be cautious about agreeing to a quick insurance settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries and losses.
