Questions and Answers

I called the police when they tried to tow my car? Does the tow truck driver have to wait for the police to arrive?

No, it is not necessary that the tow truck driver wait for the police if the vehicle is already towed at the time. If you are in your vehicle and the tow truck driver cannot tow your vehicle then the driver would need to wait for the police to arrive in order to help the situation further along depending on the circumstance and reason for the tow.

Do you have to pay once a tow truck fully hooks your vehicle up?

Yes. The entire tow fee is applicable once your vehicle is hooked up. However, you might be able to negotiate a cash deal with the tow truck driver.

Once the tow truck driver has your vehicle loaded, they are not supposed to let it down. As soon as it is loaded, you are required to pay, and you usually can't pay them right there. They will make you go down to the office to fill out paperwork and pay.

Can I sue a tow truck company for chasing me in my vehicle for emotional/mental stress?

Hello, my question is dealing with an incident yesterday. I pulled to a friend's home and while speaking with him I was still in my car. A tow truck passed by slowly and before I knew it, they were parking behind me where my car was not directly behind the truck as they were back to back now. A guy gets out of the passenger side and as he is walking up to my driver side he tells my friend when asked that "this is the car right here". I looked at him as he is trying to show me a piece of paper and I hear my friend say "pull off". I put my car in gear and drove off, as I looked in my rear view mirror and noticed the lifting gear out and on the ground in which they were about to lift the back of the car while I was still in it. It gets better. Now as I have pulled off a block away, I noticed the tow truck turning around and now they are speeding towards my vehicle. As I looked in the rear view and saw them coming up on me at a high rate of speed, I quickly speed off and noticed the tow truck was speeding up as well. Now, I am in the middle of a high speed chase in which the tow truck chased me across the railroad tracks and I am speeding through a residential neighborhood across a highway and 8 blocks later they finally stopped chasing because I lost them. Do I have any recourse in filing a lawsuit against the towing for company reckless endangerment? I could have been hit by a train, car or just wrecked.. I have tried: I have made a payment arrangement for Friday with the car company.. I think it was caused by: I was behind my payment.
