Accident Recovery

What to Do After an Accident

If you've been in an accident, your first priority is safety. Check for injuries and call 911 if anyone needs medical attention. Move to a safe location away from traffic if possible. Turn on your hazard lights and set up warning triangles or flares if you have them. Call the police to file an accident report, even for minor accidents. Exchange information with other drivers involved, including insurance details and contact information. Take photos of all vehicles, damage, and the accident scene from multiple angles. Then call GoldTeam North Hempstead Towing at (516) 283-1455 for professional accident recovery. Do not attempt to move severely damaged vehicles yourself, as this can cause additional damage and safety hazards.

Our Accident Recovery Process

When you call us for accident recovery, we dispatch our nearest available tow truck immediately. Our operators arrive with proper safety equipment including warning lights, reflective gear, and traffic control devices. We coordinate with police and emergency responders on scene to ensure safe vehicle removal. Before moving your vehicle, we document its condition with detailed photos from all angles. This documentation is crucial for insurance claims and protects you from liability for pre-existing damage. We use specialized equipment including winches, dollies, and recovery straps to safely extract vehicles from difficult positions. Our flatbed tow trucks are ideal for accident recovery because they keep damaged vehicles completely off the ground, preventing further damage during transport.

Working With Insurance Companies

We have extensive experience working with all major insurance companies and understand their requirements for accident claims. We provide detailed invoices and documentation that meet insurance standards. Our team can transport your vehicle directly to your insurance company's preferred repair facility or to a location of your choice. We also offer secure storage for vehicles awaiting insurance inspection or repair authorization. If you need immediate towing after an accident, we can coordinate with your insurance company to streamline the claims process. For severe accidents requiring heavy-duty recovery equipment, we have the specialized tools and expertise to handle complex extractions safely.
