What to Do After a Bad Car Accident

May 22, 2024

Car accidents are scary and sometimes life-altering events. Directly following an accident, you might be rattled and confused. It’s important to keep calm and make good decisions right after the crash, though. Let’s look at a few things that you should do right after a bad wreck.


Call the Police


It’s important that you quickly notify the authorities that an accident has happened. They will need to get to the site of the wreck to ensure the safety of everyone, notify emergency services, and keep the roadways safe. In many cases, the police will fill out a report on the wreck as well. If you fail to notify the police, you might get in trouble, especially if you were the cause of the crash in some way.


Get Checked Out Medically


If emergency services show up at the scene of the wreck, you should allow them to check you out. They will examine you for injuries. Don’t refuse this service. You could be injured and not know it. During a wreck, your body produces a lot of adrenaline, and this can mask pain and make you unaware of your injuries.



Call a Tow Truck


You will also need to call a reliable tow truck service in your area. This may be done on your behalf by the police. If your car can’t be driven away from the wreck, it must be safely removed from the side of the road. Our towing service can assist you with this. It might be tempting to remove the vehicle yourself with the help of friends or other vehicles, but this isn’t advised. This is because it can be unsafe, and it could be illegal in your area. You need professional tow truck services to effectively move your vehicle from a wreck site. According to Carsurance, there are 47,618 businesses and 113,885 employees in the car towing industry in the United States. We believe that among all of those businesses, we are the right fit for you.


Call Your Insurance Company


You will also need to call your insurance company. They will need to be notified that a wreck happened, and you’ll need to file any necessary claims for damage. You may be able to file a claim for tow services as well.


These are just a few things you should do if you’ve just been in a wreck. If you’re looking for reliable
tow truck services, please contact Advanced Towing today. We look forward to helping you!
