View Full Version : Car impounded?

Long story short, I got my car impounded on Saturday night by L'ville PD. I specifically told the police officer to tell the tow truck driver to be careful with the vehicle. I literally saw her drive the car up the ram and smash the front bumper. The bumper has many cracks in it (VERY noticeable ones) and it can no longer be put on to the vehicle (all mounting holes are ripped) I arrived sunday morning to pick up the car, first words they told me "Come in tomorrow and talk to "chip" about the damages on the car" I go look at the car, bumper is cracked all over and hanging..

I came in today, "chip" was not there... someone else came to me and said "have a good day. bumper was already like that when we got the car."

What could/should I do about this? Are they LEGALLY responsible?

if they damaged it, then all you can try to do is take them to small claims court if they are unwilling to pay for it. they know that at the end of the day, it is not worth most peoples time to go to court. most people will just suck it up and buy a new bumper as they realize it will cost them more time and money to take them to court. if you at least file a claim, you might have a chance at settling out of court, but still, the time, the aggravation, and the chance of not winning makes most people just suck it up and move on. def. sucks... good luck.

Fuck that shit!!! Take your pictures that you've been whoring around everywhere ( I'm assuming they're dated) and show them what condition it was in. I've been there and done that, don't let them fuck you.

I'm gonna take my bumper off while I'm handcuffed in the back of a charger. all I asked for is advice. It isn't my word against theirs. I have pictures of that DAY of the vehicle and it had no damage whatssoever on the bumper. When I picked it up, bumper was hanging. It's $1012.75 in damage. Bumper - $362.75, lip $270, Painting lip - $120, painting bumper - $180 and installation is $80. If it was $200 i'd let it go. It's over a grand.

first thing I saw.

You are a kid in a lowered honda who obviously got arrested. You really think they are going to shell out $1000 for you to fix your car? LOL

You will have to sue them to win, itll cost you more than $1000 to win.

SO yeah, youre fucked.

What did you do? Honest question. Because if it was anything related to like speeding, doing a donut, drifting, street racing etc, they will laugh your ass out of court. Theyll think youre a punk ass kid who got his car fucked up for being a dumbass.

just take the bumper off or roll around in a different car. Lawyer first THEN fixing car. The wrecker service isnt liable for damage that occurs to vehicles most of the time. Its one of those "If your car wasnt getting towed in the first place, it wouldnt be an issue" sort of thing. Just let it go and get it fixed when the legalities have settled.

they arrested you for reckless driving? YOu must have been speeding really fast. Usually reckless is just a ticket in most cases.

You WILL LOSE, im telling you this from experience. Heres the only thing you can do:

1) Contact a Lawyer ASAP, hire him.
2) Discuss the with the lawyer your options. I would subpoena the Cop who witnessed you tell him to be careful with the vehicle, and i would get any and all evidence of your car being in 1 piece that day and shortly there after.
3) Fire a threatening letter off to the Tow Truck company.
4) Pray they agree to work something out.

If not, then youre up shits creek, but you have a lawyer on retainer to pursue the rest of the case.

I've got a lawyer and he said to sue them. Even a lawrenceville police officer said to sue them. it makes sense to. they took a non damaged car into their hands and next day it was damaged. I've got pictures of that day from an EVENT I was at...

USUALLY, if youre not a complete dumbass and can talk and think, you can get out of it.

I totally drifted my RX8 sideways in front of a cop, and blamed it on my flip flop coming off and my foot getting stuck. LIKE A BOSS.

The only time you really get in trouble is if youre speeding or racing and they can tack on Reckless as another charge.

These two posts right here says it all. You having a modified (and probably not technically legally so) front end might just void your claims against the towing company. And like Dan (your name is Dan right, GG?) said, they'll go to court with you because they know it'll cost you even more money.

BanginJimmy
11-05-2012, 07:05 PM
I know from experience that tow truck companies carry absolutely zero liability when towing a vehicle with any type of modified stance or non oem ground effects.


Blew a bad on my Jimmy and tow truck ripped through my bumper trying to drag it onto the back. I called over to the tow truck company and talked to the owner who was really cool about it and refunded everything but the price of the call. He also said straight up that trying to come back for the damage would only be met by a countersuit for the remaining bill and that because the truck was lower than stock he was 100% in the clear.

Towing companies deal with this all the time. They have lawyer on retainer and the larger ones, like ones with city contracts, may even have a lawyer on staff. Fighting your lawsuit doesnt cost them a penny and will cost you EASILY double what it would cost to repair the bumper.

The phrase "you have to pay to play" doesn't just mean spending money, it means putting up with BS that most people dont have to. Like this. I can't imagine how pissed I'd be if they did that to my G....hopefully it works out somehow for you.

Yeah seriously. All the police officer said was "that sucks, you'll just have to fix it" when I told him to tell the tow truck driver to be careful with the car. I even explained to him this happened BEFORE with my integra...SAME COMPANY.

If you don't care of the outcome,sue.. About 5 years ago or so, my cousin's IS350 was towed.. Car was kitted, nice wheels, the works.. Car gets towed for illegal parking. As he stood there watching his car getting put on the flatbed, he watched his car get destroyed..tow truck driver really didnt care how he got the car up on the flatbed. ( front bumper, one of the front rims and sideskirts, suspensions, a bunch of shit ) Tow truck driver was careless. This happened in Jersey. Repair estimate was almost 5k.. What the tow truck driver didnt know ( neither did my cousin) someone that was watching, got the whole thing on video..Even with video showing what happened, people were telling him not to sue..etc etc because tow truck companies are hard to beat.. My cousin has decent pockets.. The lawyer said, even with video, it would be hard.. My cousing paid the lawyer $5800.. After the dust settled, my cousin came out on top by 2k. Tow truck company had to pay his lawyer fee and everything else in the bucket...

Moral of the story, if you got evidence and money in the bank and go for it.. of course 2 totally different stories, however..you just never know..

11-05-2012, 08:44 PM
Oh, and my vette has been towed twice, by the same tow company, ( car broke down lol ) and they were super careful and took their time to do a good job.. Not one scratch.. My vette is lowered..

11-05-2012, 08:46 PM
Now that I think of it.. Is all politics.. They figured, that if your going to jail for messing up.. They dont care about your car.. But if you call them to get your car towed under a different circumstance, I guess the outcome may be different...

Hermin
11-05-2012, 08:50 PM
I guess it all just does depend. My lawyer wants $500 and to file civil court is alittle over $100 which is not alot to lose. But I do have evidence and witnesses to the bumper not being damaged.

You still don't get it! It is their job to tow a FACTORY vehicle safely. I won't use my 4Runner because that's an unfair comparison, so lets use my fiancé's car. It's an '06 Mazda 3. I can guarantee that the same tow truck that slammed your fiberglass bumper to shit (because its fiberglass, duh) would not have done shit to my fiancé's Mazda. The main difference? 2-3 inches of ride height and a urethane bumper. Think about that.

My CRX has been towed multiple times (slammed, full body kit, etc) with NO damage, even when one of the times it was when it broke a lower ball joint. Why? BECAUSE I WASN'T DOING SOMETHING STUPID THAT INVOLVED POLICE.

I have no problems with tow trucks around her, period. The flatbed can be angled an are designed to pick up lower vehicles such as Mercedes amg, m series BMW, corvettes, etc... All I'm saying is it could have been easily avoided but, it wasn't. What's done is done so you have to just let it go. It sucks but, that's life so get used to it.

You're not getting it, dude. I don't know if it's because you're just too upset or if you really don't see. I never said they have the right to tear it up. But tow trucks are not designed to pick up cars that are just inches off the ground. If you've done something to modify the vehicle, then that's not the driver's problem. On most occasions they will do what they can to avoid damaging a car that has been modified, but these guys have been doing this a long time and they know what will and what will not go on that bed. They have a job to do (via the police of all people) and they're going to do that. They can't say no because you're car has a low bumper and is low. Don't get me wrong, man, I sympathize that your car was torn up. Two weeks ago, I had to have my Civic towed and I scrubbed the hell out of my (guaranteed only one in the world) front spoiler. It popped one of the screws out of it as well. There was nothing I could do because I knew my car was lower than what tow trucks are built for.


The flatbed can be angled an are designed to pick up lower vehicles such as Mercedes amg, m series BMW, corvettes, etc...

These cars aren't as low as some of these "tuner" cars. Your moderately dropped Hondas and such will go on a wrecker with zero to minimal scraping, but a car only a couple inches will scrub no matter what. Most of your everyday tow trucks are not built to pick up inches high vehicles.

hes not saying you deserve anything, hes saying they dont really care. Ill tell you this is how its going to work in court:

1) Why was your car towed ? (Reckless driving 18 year old kid in a sports car modded out)
2) Oh so you mean you were arrested and by law we had to tow/impound your car for an offense you are guilty of? (Thats right, we are required by law to impound the car, you dont get special treatment)
3) NICE TRY

Illegal parking isnt the same as a "punk kid " getting arrested for reckless driving. You are in a shitty age group that frankly probably deserves a lot of the attention you get.

I am also willing to bet your record is not squeaky clean. If you have any other tickets, forget it.

the $600 you are going to pay to try and get your $1000 bumper fixed will be wasted.

If youre a 18 year old kid, you better be driving like a grandma or you are asking for trouble. I guarantee you got pulled over, he saw your car, he already slapped you into the "F&F" category.

I think you're just not getting it. You keep assuming that I'm saying that you deserved to get your car damaged. I never said that (even said the opposite). But tow trucks are designed to tow factory vehicles, man. Not modified (maybe illegally) vehicles. I understand that you're young and will make mistakes again, dude. Contrary to what Rick believes, I have made my fair share of mistakes in the past.

And contrary to what you believe, Rick doesn't understand.

The cops and the wrecker driver don't have for fuck ever to baby your car on to a wrecker. It is there job to get it off the street ASAP and get you to jail in the same manor. If a driver would have been picking up your car because something broke, then it is YOUR dime and not THEIR time. There is a difference, which is why they don't give a shit about your bumper. Yeah, it sucks, but the time and energy you would spend fighting it isn't worth it, and should be spent on your criminal case LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS SAID.

Yeah, I did a lot of dumb shit when I was younger (54 tickets, put on probation for my driving record, among other things), but you know what? I learned from it eventually and my car was never impounded for what I did. Pull your head out of your ass now before its too late. You have a target on your head just like the rest of us did at your age.

I will post 2 facts I know since I used to do towing, and recovery!

1. Never accept the car with damage, no matter what they say!

2. When you seen the car the cops should have been called, and when they showed you ask for a report to be filed.

Will it get fixed now, NO... You accepted the car, and probably signed the release which has in small print "we are not responsible for damages, or lost/stolen items"

It'll buff out. Just use zip ties like us regular honda owners to hold the bumpers up. Good luck with getting it fixed or pursuing it. Either way you're 99% going to lose the case though. Well, any possible chance the cops camera was recording? Might want to call and ask ASAP about that. To see where the cop walks up and tells him what you said, and then him dragging the car in ok condition to it's destruction. And for your safety you might want to stop driving like an idiot, you're going to end up pissing the wrong person off and getting shot. It's happened before, and it'll probably happen again. Good luck either way.


If a driver would have been picking up your car because something broke, then it is YOUR dime and not THEIR time. There is a difference, which is why they don't give a shit about your bumper.

Question. I have always heard you pay the towing fees and shit when your car is impounded? Is that not true? If so technically it was on his dime.

Whether you guys like the bumper or not, i'm still out of $1700 lol. I bought a new bumper.


I don't feel like going through the hassle of court and what not. I'm pretty positive I could of won the case, but I'll pass on it. It's a 50/50% chance.

You did do the right thing because you probably would not have won. Just chalk it up and be careful out there, dude.

On a side note...How can you be "pretty sure you would win" with a 50/50 shot? lol at your statistics

Whether it fit nicely or didn't, whether it looked good or not. I still had over $1000 in it and it was ruined. Whether you'd like it or not, I don't really care lol. I had all the proof that they did damage the car. I just don't want to go through the headache of going in and out of court.

If a cop wants to be a dick, they can classify any type of moving violation as reckless driving. Trust me, I've been there.
