Accident Recovery
When the unexpected happens, JJ Hogan Towing is ready to respond with speed, care, and professionalism. Our accident recovery services are designed to safely remove vehicles involved in collisions — from minor fender-benders to major multi-vehicle accidents — while minimizing disruption to traffic and protecting everyone on the scene.
We work closely with local law enforcement, first responders, and insurance providers to ensure the recovery process is handled smoothly from start to finish. With specialized trucks, experienced operators, and 24/7 availability, we’re always ready to help when you need it most.
What is Accident Recovery?
Accident recovery refers to the process of safely removing damaged or disabled vehicles from a crash scene. Unlike a standard tow, these situations often involve added complexity, such as blocked traffic lanes, vehicle entanglement, unstable positions, or leaking fluids.
Our team is trained to handle these challenges safely and efficiently, whether it’s recovering a single car or managing multi-vehicle incidents. We ensure that vehicles are removed without causing further damage and that the surrounding area is cleared as quickly and safely as possible.
When Do You Need It?
You may need accident recovery if:
Your vehicle is involved in a collision and cannot be driven
The vehicle is blocking traffic or needs to be moved for investigation
You’ve been instructed by police or first responders to have it towed
The car is flipped, off the road, or entangled with another vehicle
Fluids are leaking, and the scene needs to be cleared quickly
Even if the damage seems minor, if your car isn’t safe to drive or the police require removal, we’re prepared to take action immediately.
