Accident Recovery

Accident recovery. Winch-outs. Scenes handled right.

After a collision, rollover, or slide into a ditch, there is a right way and a wrong way to get the vehicle out. Wrong hooks can crack frames, damage airbags that did not deploy, or make the insurance claim worse. Our drivers are trained for Florida Highway Patrol freeway response and for winch-out recovery from ditches, soft shoulders, and standing water after a storm.

What do homeowners ask about Accident Recovery?

Will my insurance cover this?

Most comprehensive and collision policies cover post-accident towing as part of the claim. Call your insurer right after the tow; they will reimburse or pay direct. We give you a detailed invoice with the scene location, reason for the tow, and destination - exactly what adjusters need.

How do winch-outs work?

When a vehicle slides off the road, we use the wrecker's integrated winch to pull it back onto the pavement. On a soft shoulder that takes 15-30 minutes. A vehicle deep in standing water or hung up on a steep bank takes careful anchor work and rigging - sometimes 1-2 hours. We explain what we see and what we are going to do before starting.

Can you get me unstuck from standing water or a canal bank?

Yes. Named flood points across the metro, Orange Blossom Trail at South Street, Colonial Drive at Primrose, Semoran Boulevard at Lake Underhill, and stretches of Florida's Turnpike, all pool during heavy summer storms and hurricanes. If you're genuinely stuck, do not restart the engine if water reached the intake, cranking a flooded engine causes catastrophic damage. Call and wait.

Do you coordinate with FHP and local police?

Yes. We are on the Florida Highway Patrol rotation for freeway scene response across the Orlando metro. For local police scenes, we coordinate the removal, the paperwork, and the transport destination chosen by the vehicle owner or officer.

What do I need to do at the scene?

If everyone is safe, step off the road, call 911 if it is a collision, and then call us. Do not try to move the vehicle yourself. Do not stand in traffic to take photos. We will arrive, stage the vehicle safely, and help you coordinate with law enforcement, the insurance company, and the body shop.
