Improperly secured vehicles falling off the tow bed during transport
Tow truck operators working on the roadside without adequate safety cones or lighting
Chains, hooks, or straps breaking and releasing towed vehicles into traffic
Aggressive driving while responding to calls
Blocking traffic lanes without proper warning devices
Operating overloaded flatbed tow trucks beyond their rated capacity

Typical Injuries

Injuries to motorists struck by vehicles that detach from tow trucks
Roadside worker injuries from passing traffic
Rear end collision injuries from unexpected lane blockages

Head injuries from debris flying off improperly secured loads
Fatal injuries from high speed highway collisions

How We Prove Liability

Tow truck operators in Texas must be licensed and insured, and they owe a duty of care both to the vehicles they tow and to other motorists on the road. When a towed vehicle detaches or the tow truck creates a hazard on the roadway, the operator and the towing company can be held liable. Evidence of licensing violations, inadequate equipment maintenance, or failure to follow proper securing procedures strengthens liability arguments.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2308 regulates towing companies and operators, establishing licensing, insurance, and operational requirements. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation oversees tow truck operator permits and enforces compliance. Tow truck operators must also comply with Texas Transportation Code move over and slow down provisions under Section 545.157, which require other drivers to yield and reduce speed near tow trucks with activated lights.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.

Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
