After The Car Accident: The Tow Service

Some good advice, via Connecticut Better Business Bureau, on choosing a tow service (assuming you don’t have AAA) if you get into a car accident:

 

• Contact your insurance company from the accident scene.
• Never give permission to a tow operator who arrives unsolicited to take your vehicle.
• Do not provide a tow truck operator with personal lien holder information.
• Ensure the tow truck signage matches the name you called and is identical to any documentation the tow truck operator provides.
• If the truck is not marked, ask for identification.
• If in doubt, call the company back to ensure the operator is with the company.
