Towing After An Accident
So, let’s say that (God forbid), you were involved in a car accident that requires your car to be towed. The police may already be on the scene or on their way and the next step is to call a towing company. The first question you may have is “how do I get my car towed and who is going to pay for it?” Here are some simple guidelines to help you get through this stressful time:
Firstly, it is almost impossible to know which party will be considered at fault and hence you won’t know whether your insurance or the other party’s insurance will be covering the towing fee. You also have no clue what sort of coverage the other party has or whether their insurance will cover the towing of your vehicle – if the other party is at fault.
If it turns out that you were at fault, then your insurance coverage will determine whether the towing costs are covered. Regardless, it is time for you to call your insurance company. Explain the circumstances and remember to bring up the fact that you will need towing. Next, ask your car insurance company to call a trusted tow company in your area and give them our number if you choose – this way, you can avoid future conflicts regarding coverage.
If you do not mention towing to your auto insurance company, one of two things might happen; either a random tow service will hear about the accident on the police scanner and show up first to the accident site, or a tow company that is on call for the police will show up. Keep in mind that you have the option of calling a local towing company directly. Remember that your car insurance company may or may not fully cover the towing fee
