Should I get the tow truck drivers information? | Car Accident Tips
After a Car Accident it’s important to get the tow truck driver’s information or else you will likely have to wait for the accident report to come out to find out where they brought your vehicle!
#1. This is just a hassle because you have no idea where your vehicle is and belongings you may need are still in the vehicle๐ฑ
#2. The law says you MUST mitigate your damages if you are able to, so even if the accident was not your fault, you may still need to get the vehicle out of the storage lot so it stops accumulating fees. Most insurance companies will give a reasonable amount of time to do this regardless of fault, but if the insurance company takes a long time to investigate who is at fault, they may only agree to pay for part of the storage fees. ๐ฒ
3. Even if the other driver’s insurance company agrees to take responsibility for the accident, they can’t pay you for a total loss or get an estimate to repair your vehicle which means you will be waiting longer to get your vehicle back or money you need to get another one! ๐
