    I hired a towing company to tow my truck that wouldnt start and loaded trailer. While in tow they flipped it and completely destroyed the freight and totalled my trailer and possibly my truck too.
    I dealing with my insurance company and the towing company insurance co. I welcome all good advice as I try to navigate this unchartered waters.

    Consult a lawyer. This is not a situation you want to hope that the insurance companies play fair.

    My goodness that’s horrible! Please post pics. I’ve never seen anything like this. My opinion is that the tow truck companies insurance has to cover everything. Your insurance will know more.

    And as much as I would like to know more, I would refrain from doing any more social media pots on this subject until the dust settles. Here or anywhere else.
