What to Do After a Car Accident: Baltimore Attorney Steven H. Heisler Shares Vital Tips with the Public

Baltimore, MD – October 21, 2025 – Steven H. Heisler, known throughout Maryland as “The Injury Lawyer,” is sharing key advice with the public on what to do immediately after a car accident. With decades of experience representing accident victims, Heisler emphasizes that the steps taken in the first moments and days following a collision can make all the difference in protecting one’s health, rights, and future claim.

“After an accident, your priority should always be safety and medical care,” said Heisler. “Call 911, document the scene (take photos of damage to both cars and other driver’s tag number), exchange information, and seek medical attention even if you think you’re fine. Some injuries take time to show symptoms, such as internal bleeding. Then, contact a trusted attorney before speaking with insurance companies.”

Heisler warns that insurance companies are not on the victim’s side, despite what their advertisements may suggest. “They’re for-profit businesses focused on minimizing payouts,” he explained. “Too often, injured people are treated unfairly, ignored, or pressured into accepting settlements far below what they deserve.”

At the Law Offices of Steven H. Heisler, the team takes pride in representing citizens throughout Maryland but especially those from their hometown of Baltimore. “Our Baltimore law offices are proud to represent all citizens of Maryland – but we have to admit to a certain fondness for Baltimoreans and Orioles fans,” said Heisler. “Having invested our lives and raised our families here, we know that it truly is ‘The Greatest City in America.’”

Heisler believes that Baltimore’s strength lies in its resilience and sense of justice. “Despite our greatness as a community, accidents still happen and they’re made even more tragic by insurance companies that couldn’t care less about the injured person or their family,” he said. “Our pursuit of justice in the face of adversity is what makes Baltimore great.”

Known for his energy and fighting spirit, Heisler’s background as a former wrestler and Golden Gloves boxer reflects his determined approach to standing up for injured clients. “When you have a legal problem, you want someone you can trust,” he added. “I’ve built my career on honesty, compassion, and hard work not arrogance or pretense.”
