Answers
Tow truck accidents — FAQs
Are tow truck accidents common in Ontario?
Tow trucks operate under time pressure, often at the roadside and in live traffic, which creates real risk. Ontario has also seen heightened scrutiny of the towing industry in recent years. Crashes can happen during towing, at recovery scenes, or when a tow truck is driving between calls.
What makes a tow truck claim different?
Tow operators may be independent, work for a towing company, or be dispatched through third parties, so responsibility can be shared in ways that aren't obvious at the scene. There can also be questions about how a vehicle was secured or how a recovery was performed. We investigate all of it.
A tow truck damaged my car and I was hurt — what can I claim?
If you were injured, you can access Ontario accident benefits regardless of fault, and you may have a tort claim against the at-fault tow operator and company for your injuries and losses. Property damage is handled separately. We'll explain how each part works for your situation.
