After A Collision

Recovery Starts After Everyone Is Safe

01

First priorities at the scene

Check for injuries and call 911 when anyone is hurt or the vehicles are blocking traffic. Follow directions from law enforcement and first responders. Towing and recovery come after the scene is safe, and dispatch will ask whether officers are already on scene.

If the crash happened on a highway such as E-470, our guide on an accident on E-470 covers what to tell dispatch about direction, exits, and lane position.

02

Recovery, removal, and cleanup are different jobs

A vehicle that is upright on the shoulder and rolls freely may only need accident removal, which is transport to a shop, home, or storage location. A vehicle that has left the roadway, rolled, or is stuck in a ditch may need winching and recovery before it can be loaded. Debris and fluid left on the road fall under accident cleanup.

You do not need to diagnose which applies. Describe where the vehicle is, how it is sitting, and what you can see, and dispatch will plan the response.

03

Details worth gathering for later

Insurance companies and repair shops will ask where the vehicle was taken. Brothers records digital photos and the VIN, which supports that paperwork.

  • Photos of the vehicles and scene, if it is safe to take them
  • The responding agency and any report number provided
  • Your insurance information and preferred repair shop, if you have one
  • Personal items you need from the vehicle before it is moved
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I call 911 or a tow company first?

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt, the vehicles are blocking traffic, or there is any danger at the scene. Towing and recovery come after the scene is safe.

What is the difference between accident recovery and accident removal?

Removal transports a vehicle that is on the road and can be loaded. Recovery is needed when the vehicle has left the roadway, rolled, or is stuck and must be brought back before it can be transported.

Will you document the vehicle condition?

Brothers uses digital photo and VIN verification, which provides a record of the vehicle that can help with insurance and repair paperwork.

Can I get my belongings out of the vehicle?

If it is safe, remove personal items before the vehicle is moved. If you cannot, ask dispatch how to arrange access afterward.
