Yes, you can buy AppleCare after an accident, but there's a catch. You need to get your device inspected at an Apple Store or by an authorized service provider, and any damage will need to be repaired—which may come with a fee—before you can purchase AppleCare. It's important to do this quickly, as there's a 60-day window from the time of purchase to add AppleCare.
