Q: Who is responsible for towing charges following an accident in State of Florida? If at fault driver has no insurance?
The owner of the vehicle had insurance PIP coverage. The police called the wrecker and had car towed to a place they contract with and owners insurance did not pay bill and did not send notice or letter to owner. Owner when to renew license and told lien from accident had to be paid. They destruct title on van and disposed of car and then towing, hook up fee, etc. total $380.00
A:
typically you are responsible for your own towing. if the at fault driver has no insurance at all if am hoping have uninsured motorist coverage, if not you may be getting the bill on this one yourself. I suggest that you consult with a personal injury attorney in your area. While you may not have an injury case, the attorney might be able to give you some basic advice to help with your situation.
Good luck,
