Free Accident Recovery in Nottingham — How Does
It Work?
If you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident
in Nottingham, the last thing you want to worry
about is a large recovery bill. The good news is
that if the accident wasn’t your fault, your vehicle
recovery can be completely free. Here’s how it works
and what you need to do.
Why is accident recovery sometimes free?
When a road traffic collision occurs, the at-fault
driver’s insurance company is liable for the costs
associated with the accident — including the cost
of recovering the non-fault driver’s vehicle. This
means that if someone else caused the accident,
their insurer picks up your recovery bill.
You don’t need to wait for insurance claims to be
settled. We recover your vehicle immediately and
handle the cost recovery process with the insurers
directly. You pay nothing upfront.
What do I need to do after an accident in Nottingham?
Follow these steps immediately after any road
traffic accident:
1. Check for injuries — call 999 if anyone is hurt
2. Move to safety — switch on hazard lights
3. Call the police if the road is blocked or if
there is any dispute about what happened
4. Exchange details with the other driver — name,
address, insurance company and policy number,
vehicle registration
5. Take photographs — the scene, vehicle positions,
any damage, road conditions, road markings
6. Get witness details if anyone saw the accident
7. Call BG Breakdown Recovery on 07455 266154 —
we’ll recover your vehicle immediately
What if the other driver won’t give their details?
If the other driver refuses to exchange details or
leaves the scene, call the police immediately on
999. Note down their vehicle registration number,
make and colour. This information is essential for
your insurance claim and for recovering the cost
of your vehicle recovery.
Does it matter whose fault it was?
We will recover your vehicle regardless of fault.
However the free recovery applies when the accident
was not your fault. If you were at fault, your own
insurance may cover recovery costs depending on
your policy — check your policy documents or call
your insurer.
Even if fault is disputed, call us immediately —
we’ll recover your vehicle and the insurance
question can be resolved afterwards.
What happens to my vehicle after recovery?
We transport your vehicle to a location of your
choice — your home, your preferred garage, or our
secure storage facility in Nottingham if the vehicle
needs to be kept safe while insurance matters are
resolved. We offer secure car storage in Nottingham
for vehicles involved in accidents.
