Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
Just looking at the photos from the scene of the accident, it really is a wonder nobody was killed in this crash. Now, the news suggested that the tow truck may have run the stop sign in the moments before the collision. If true, then the tow truck company is probably going to be in some seriously hot water for this accident, and they probably know it. For a business owner, unfortunately, the goal now does not become making things right, it becomes a game of insulating their bottom line from harm. Damage control. And you can expect them to try to shake off as much responsibility for the accident as possible. No matter how at-fault the company seems, victims need to expect stiff and effective legal resistance. Ive seen more than one good case chewed up and spat out by people who think they could handle their case alone.
