  • Tow truck operators working on the roadside without adequate safety cones or lighting

  • 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

For tow truck accident claims filed in Williamson, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific Taylor locations, including US-79 through Taylor.

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

Residents of Taylor pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.

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.
