With school back in session, traffic is picking up, and that means a higher risk of accidents. Attorney Shawn C. Brown joined us to share practical tips for staying safe on the road and what steps to take if a crash does happen.

As roads become more congested and drivers more rushed, Shawn recommends staying defensive behind the wheel. That means checking your mirrors often, being aware of your surroundings, and leaving a little earlier than usual to avoid peak traffic stress.

If you do find yourself in an accident, here are three key steps to follow:

  • Call 911 – A police report is essential for documenting the incident properly.
  • Document the crash yourself – Take photos and videos of the scene, damage, and any relevant details.
  • Contact a lawyer – Legal guidance can help you navigate insurance claims, medical bills, and any additional support you may need.

Whether you’re a parent dropping off kids or a commuter adjusting to the school-year rush, a little preparation can go a long way in keeping everyone safe.
