Today, I watched my car roll backwards on the freeway, while attached to the tow truck that I was sitting in. FML

Today, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML

Today, I had the lovely experience of witnessing a tow truck cause a couple thousand dollars' worth of damage to my broken-down car. FML

Today, I had two accidents in my car: one when a truck drove into its rear end, the other immediately after when my own rear end released its load onto the seat. FML

Today, my tie-rod snapped, forcing me into a parked car. The wheel literally flew off my car. FML

Today, while my plane took off, I was forced to sit and watch as somebody rear-ended my car in the parking lot. FML

Today, while on my way to work, I had a tire blowout. I got the car towed and borrowed my mom’s so that I could still get to work. Her car seized and died on the expressway ramp. It’s not in any tow truck’s jurisdiction. FML

Today, I put my phone on top the car while putting my daughter in her car seat. Told myself not to forget it. Then I drove away, and it flew off the top of the car on the freeway. It got ran over. FML

Today, my car broke down on the highway, and I had to call for a tow truck. It finally showed up, only to break down too less than a mile later. Cue nearly freezing to death while we waited for help to arrive for the both of us. FML

Today, my car's parking gear and parking brake failed. I watched as it rolled down a big hill into someone's 2017, $30,000 camper. FML

I have such an irrational fear of that happening when I'm driving behind a towtruck. Every time I'm driving behind one, I keep thinking "What if the car rolls off and hits me? OHF*KOHF*KOHF*K!"

you wont have to sue, the towing company will gladly buy you a comparable car to replace yours. That's why people have insurance. If he gets fired over it don't worry, that just means he has done it before and deserves to be let go.

You should have edited your reply after seeing you were first. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of being first fails. To the OP, whatever the reason you were getting your car towed... it doesn't matter, the tow truck driver just awarded you a new one. Don't feel bad for him though, it will just be an insurance claim. It was his fault for not securing your vehicle. Also, as a commercial driver, tow truck drivers rate just ahead of dump truck drivers on the low end of the totem pole, so never feel bad for them.
