Understanding Tow Truck Accident Cases
Common Causes
- 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
- Crush injuries from vehicles sliding off flatbed tow trucks
- Head injuries from debris flying off improperly secured loads
- Fatal injuries from high speed highway collisions
Establishing 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.
Relevant Texas Law
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.
