Getting into a car accident can be a very traumatic experience for everyone involved, especially if there is serious damage to your vehicle. Even if no one is actually injured, a big concern that many people have after a car crash is whether their car is still drivable or will it need to be towed away immediately.
As a responsible driver, it's your responsibility to ensure that your car is safe to drive on the road. If there is any doubt, it is important to have it checked before using it.
If you get pulled over or involved in another accident before getting it fixed, your insurance may be invalid if you were driving a car that may be considered unworthy to be on the road.
