The car accident my son and I were involved in was pretty traumatic.  The lady that hit our vehicle had hit us so hard it totaled his vehicle.  While all of the ambulances and firemen were running around trying to help us (we were both injured), neither one of us thought about what was going to happen to the car.  Obviously it was blocking traffic, so we knew it would be towed somewhere.  We found out the next day that my son's vehicle was eventurally towed by a local towing company to a facility that was less than five miles from the site of the accident.

Although we both recieved injuries from the accident, we knew we needed to get the car out of the towing company's auto storage yard right away.  The reason for this was the dollar amount they wanted to charge us was unbelievable.  Apparently because either one or both parties involved in an accident have insurance, towing companies like to charge an exorbitant amount of money for car storage.  It is bad enough to face lost pay from being unable to work, but to learn what these towing companies charge is overwhelming.  What if we had been at fault in this accident and were injured?  How many days would we have had to pay the  $74 a day they charged us?

I wonder if anyone in the storage indurstry has thought about this?
