Down Time Claims: How to Get Paid

I would say of all the work I do for tow companies, down time claims are the ones that get tow companies the most fired up. The scenario goes like this: a tow company’s vehicle is hit in an accident and is out of commission for a few weeks.

The other lawyer was a general business lawyer without any experience representing tow companies. The other lawyer wrote the law enforcement agency a long (and expensive) letter threatening all sorts of things if the law enforcement agency did not promptly allow the tow company on the tow rotation.

However, when I think property damage in the context of a towing claim, I think about the scenario where there has been a motor vehicle accident and a third party’s “property” has been damaged.
