How We Help with Auto Accident Cases

A sudden crash can leave you injured, overwhelmed, and unsure where to start. At Wingfield, Ginsburg & Lipp P.C., our family firm is here to walk you through every step—helping you understand your rights, heal with dignity, and fight for the compensation you deserve across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.


From fender-benders to serious collisions, we help clients throughout the DMV recover physically and financially. Whether your crash happened in Dupont Circle, Silver Spring, or Upper Marlboro, we gather the details and fight to hold at-fault drivers accountable.

Understanding Liability, Claims & Compensation

After an accident, proving fault and filing a strong claim are essential—but not always simple. We help with:

  • Analyzing police reports and witness statements
  • Reviewing traffic footage or dashcams
  • Identifying third-party liability (like road maintenance or vehicle defects)
  • Calculating both immediate costs and long-term losses


If you’re recovering in Bethesda or Springfield, we’ll help you understand your options for filing insurance claims, pursuing personal injury compensation, and avoiding common legal pitfalls.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do immediately after a car accident?

    Seek medical attention, file a police report, and take photos if you’re able. Then contact an attorney. Whether you’re in College Park or Vienna, early documentation can make or break your case.

  • Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

    It depends on the state. In DC and Maryland, contributory negligence can limit recovery, while Virginia follows its own strict rules. We’ll help you understand where you stand.

  • What if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance?

    You may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We’ve helped many clients across areas like Rockville and Annandale file successful claims.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    Deadlines vary by state. In most of the DMV, you have 3 years—but the sooner we start, the stronger your case can be.

  • How much is my auto accident case worth?

    That depends on your injuries, losses, and liability factors. We’ve helped clients from Lorton to Laurel secure full compensation for everything from missed work to future medical care.
