i hope you sued the tow truck driver.  that is negligence on his  part.
if you got a good lawyer you would have won the lawsuit and  the proceeds
would have covered all repairs...   did you?

i had a car (my own) fall off a tow truck because the tow truck driver did
not strap the wheels into the  wheel lifts because he was LAZY.  he  had to
do a panic stop and my car jumped out of the wheel lifts and crashed into
the boom, the wheel lifts destroying the undercarriage and the front end was
 smashed and the car fell off the lift.   it was totalled.    all because
the tow truck driver was too lazy to use the wheel straps he was  carrying IN
THE TRUCK WITH HIM.    i sued the tow truck company  and won.
i have no patience for dumb tow truck drivers.

Many may  remember Miguel's call for help for me back in April!  I only  had
third and 4th gear.  Linkage and Starter issues.  This was on  our drive
back from Beaumont Texas, where The Rastafalia met with a  terrible fate
earlier this February!   We were driving cross  country, six of us on the
team, heading to Conference in Charlotte,  NC.  Colin, Geoff, Kat, PJ,
Sherry, and myself.  We were driving  on I-10 thru Beaumont, and there was
terrible wind!!!!  The Rastafalia  was packed to the hilt, and we were
hauling a small trailer too!  The  wind was making us shift about, and it
was very frightening!  I was  praying that we would be kept safe, and turns
out, so was half of our  passengers!  There were tornado warnings up ahead,
I found out  after!!!  I opened my eyes, and saw that Colin was filming the
road  for our little movie we were making if our journey to conference!   I
decide to pray more, as the van really started swaying!!!  when I  open my
eyes again, what do I see, but a silver car heading straight for  us!!!!
Geoff was driving, and he did everything right!  He hit the  brakes, and we
hit it head on!  We slid to the right, and landed  completely blocking all
lanes of traffic.  Thank goodness no one hit  us from the side, or that may
have been it!!!  As were standing in the  middle of the freeway after, I
asked Colin, if he got the accident on  film!  Sure enough!  He did!  Turns
out a tow truck dropped  his load!!!  The driver did not properly secure the
car to the  truck!  You can see the video on YouTube if you like!   Colin
dropped the camera right before we  hit.
