Who is at fault in case of damage caused by a tow truck?

Questioner

Dear Sir/Madam, Who is at fault if you are towed in the event of a collision with the tow truck? The tow truck has not given towing instructions. The tow truck locks the steering wheel and then brakes and goes left while the tow truck should have noticed the towed car in the side mirror. The tow truck crashes into a lamppost on the left side of the road, causing considerable damage. Only then does it stop. Question Who is to blame?

Lawyer

I assume that a private individual towed you, possibly as a favor to a friend. The driver of the towed car should reasonably have realised that he should have taken measures to prevent the steering of the towed car from becoming blocked (key in ignition, ignition on). Since this did not happen, the driver of the towing car cannot be blamed. After all, he could have assumed that this was an experience known to everyone. Since the steering blocked, the driver of the towed car is liable for the damage caused on the basis of the unlawful act.
