Accident Recovery in Richmond, TX
What Fort Bend County drivers must do after a collision on US-90A — your rights, the recovery process, and why the choice of tow company is always yours.
Accident Recovery in Richmond, TX
A collision on US-90A, FM 762, or any Fort Bend County road puts you in a high-stress situation with a lot of decisions to make quickly. The choice of recovery towing company is one of the most important — and it is a choice that belongs entirely to you, not to the police officer at the scene or any tow company that arrives uninvited.
Rescue Towing Group LLC responds to accident recovery calls throughout Richmond, Rosenberg, Missouri City, and all of Fort Bend County. Our drivers are trained to handle collision-damaged vehicles correctly — assessing structural damage, choosing the right loading method, and coordinating with law enforcement and insurance adjusters so you do not have to.
Your Rights at an Accident Scene in Texas
You have the right to choose your own tow company after an accident. No one can force you to use a specific provider — not the officer, not an uninvited tow truck driver. If a tow truck arrives without being called, you can refuse their service.
Texas law requires towing companies to provide an itemized receipt and to disclose all fees before loading. If they refuse, that is a violation of your rights — document everything and file a complaint with TDLR at tdlr.texas.gov.
What to Do After a Collision on US-90A
Check for Injuries — Call 911
Safety first. If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately. Do not move injured persons unless they are in immediate danger.
Move to Safety if Possible
If your vehicle is driveable, move it completely off US-90A and activate hazard lights. If not, stay buckled inside and wait for law enforcement.
Document Everything
Photograph all vehicles, license plates, road conditions, and any visible damage from multiple angles before vehicles are moved.
Call Your Preferred Tow Company
Call us directly — do not automatically accept the first tow company that arrives at the scene. You choose who touches your vehicle.
Coordinate With Your Insurance
Contact your insurer after the tow. Keep your towing receipt — it is required documentation for your insurance claim.
How We Handle Collision-Damaged Vehicles
An accident-damaged vehicle presents loading challenges that a standard breakdown tow does not. Steering may be compromised, tires may be flat, suspension components may be damaged, and the vehicle may not be able to be shifted into neutral.
Our drivers assess every accident-damaged vehicle before attempting to load it. For vehicles that cannot be driven onto the flatbed, we use a winch with a soft bridle attached to structural anchor points — never to bumpers, body panels, or damaged components. The goal is always to transport the vehicle without causing any additional damage during recovery.

Rescue Towing Group provides detailed receipts and documentation that your insurer needs to process your claim. We work with all major insurance providers including State Farm, Allstate, Geico, Progressive, USAA, Liberty Mutual, and Farmers.
