Following a motor vehicle accident, when and how can I obtain my personal belongings from the vehicle?

You should secure all of your personal and valuable possessions, and remove them from the vehicle at the site of the crash. If you are unable to do so, you should call the police department and/or towing company to schedule a time at which you can remove your personal property.

Prior to going to your vehicle, you should contact the police department and/or towing company to discover the precise location of the vehicle, and the days and times when your vehicle will be accessible. Additionally, ask them whether you will have to provide any documentation in order to remove your possessions or the vehicle from the impound site. Some police departments have a regulation that you acquire a release from them prior to removing a vehicle or any property from a vehicle that was impounded or towed.
