The operator of the boat
Better check the paperwork you signed before they towed. There was probably a clause in there clearing the company of liability for such damage.
It should be pretty obvious that the employer of the tow truck driver is completely responsible.
The vehicle being towed has to have physical damage coverage itself in order to be covered for damage. A vehicle towing another vehicle does transfer the liability insurance to the trailer or object it is legally towing but the physical damage done to the object being towed does not transfer.
Unfortunately, not much. The obvious prevention would have been to keep current on the payments. Being towed is just the logicl consequence of the previous actions.
The towing company (contractor) is responsible for any damage it causes while removing a car from a public street, and the municipality may have liability if it has its own employees tow vehicles, rather than a contractor. You may also find a sign on private property that says, "Unauthorized vehicles towed at owner's risk and expense." Oddly enough, this means what it says, and you have "assumed the risk" of damage and agreed to pay the reasonable expenses of towing (and storage) when you trespassed on such a parking spot.
I was driving my truck and towing a U-haul are transporter with my minivan on the transporter. I was involved in an accident. I have total coverage on the truck but only collision on the van. My insurance covered my truck and the damage to the uhaul but not to my van. Hope this helps some
In my opinion, it is the towing company's fault, and they should have to pay for it.
It gets towed. Where it goes from there depends on the reason it was towed. It could go to an impound yard, a tow company yard, or a repair center, or back to your home if you had it towed.
depends on how high the hitch is and how high the vehicle being towed is
In dealing with a towed trailer, the liability coverage will extend from the vehicle towing to the trailer being towed but the physical damage coverage does not extend. This means that if you are backing up at a fuel station and the trailer backs into another vehicle then the liability will cover the damage done to the other car that is damaged by the trailer. Any damage done to the trailer itself will not be covered.
If it were being towed away because someone failed to make the payments due, then there are no "rights" as you simple do not own the car ... and never have ... until the final payment is made, the finance company owns the car as they hold the legal title.
