What Kinds of Tow Truck Accidents Justify Lawsuits?

Everyone who drives a vehicle on public roads, including tow truck drivers, has a duty of care to others. Every driver must obey traffic laws, pay attention to their surroundings, and drive in a reasonable manner. In addition to driving safely, tow truck drivers are expected to exercise care when loading, transporting, and unloading a disabled vehicle.

This means that if a tow truck driver causes an accident resulting in injury—for example, because they did not secure a disabled car properly on their truck and it fell off while the truck was in motion—the tow truck driver could be liable for ensuing damages. It is no different from causing a collision through a general traffic violation or driving while drunk.
