I'm sorry and it maybe an unpopular opinion but the fact that the person whose driveway he parked in front of was actually on vacation but she still called to have the car towed because she seen it on her ring camera seems like such an ahole move to me. I know he shouldn't have parked that way and if she was home she would have every right to Tow it, but to see it on your camera and it's not affecting you in any other way, I don't see the point of calling to have it towed.
I wonder if he could've asked the neighbor to share the ring camera recording of the tow, that would've cleared up any possibilities that they loaded his truck inappropriately.
There’s no way the plaintiff would not have noticed two flat tires on the SAME side of his vehicle. As soon as he sat in the driver’s seat, he would have realized that the vehicle was more-or-less “leaning” to one side. Also, who picks a vehicle up from a tow yard, and doesn’t even bother to walk around it once? Ridiculous
There are a couple problems with what you're saying, one your car isn't automatically going to be leaning enough for you to notice, two there may have still been some air in both of those tires until he actually started driving on them, that has happened with many punctured tires, he says he drove at most half a block before he noticed the tires were both flat, and you and I might both walk around our vehicles and inspect every inch of it but not everyone thinks like that or would do that, that doesn't mean that the tow company isn't responsible for damage that they caused, in fact this is more likely than not that this tow company did cause the damage, just the fact that the defendant brought in absolutely no paperwork to show how the tow was conducted is enough to show his guilt. He knew that if he brought in the paperwork showing how the tow was conducted it would hurt his case! he didn't forget his paperwork that was done purposefully.
@@al3220 If the tow had punctured the tires, it would have been leaking air from the Saturday they towed it until he picked it up on the Monday. So probably 36 hours of leaking.
I'm truly surprised JM was so easy on the defendant for not having documentation of the tow. They have a responsibility to document everything(damages noted before tow, etc) to cover themselves in these events. It's awfully suspicious this defendant didn't keep any paperwork, especially considering the plaintiff contacted him regarding the damage the very same day. He had to know this could end up in court. Very suspicious.
Because it’s on the Plaintiff to prove it happened his way, once the Plaintiff does then it’s on the Defendant to prove it didn’t happen that way or prove that even if it did happen that way the Plaintiff waived away the right to blame them for it, except for gross negligence or they rigged it to temporarily hide it.
they were probably busy that week and did not keep up on all the paperwork for all the tows and it was not a police tow situation where the courts have documentation , it was a private homeowner calling the tow company .
The stories for sure will be missed but the two judges whose only real claim to fame is how loud they can yell and how rude and obnoxious JJ can be. I do believe Judge Milian can easily out screech JJ. My ears hurt after Peoples Court!
I can even feel if one tire is low. There is no way he wouldn't notice two flat tires on the same side. I am convinced he rubbed against a curb on his way home.
I know exactly how this happened. If the black top is gone from the street, there is a drop in the driveway. That's how the under plates got damaged. He went straight, instead of on an angle. It also means there's about a 4 inch drop on the sides of the road. If he got too close, to that, it will rub the tires. And if there's a bar sticking out of the concrete...pop goes the tires on the passenger side.
the clue that gets the tow driver off the hook is the fact that both the damaged tires are on the same side of his pick up truck . to me that means the tire damage happened when the truck was being driven and the plaintiff ran into or over something in the road that damaged both the front tire and the back tire as he drove in a straight line .
I am convinced plaintiff showed up for his 15 minutes of fame, hopefully some agent watched the show and we will see plaintiff in some Netflix show in the near future.
I don't doubt for one minute that the tires went flat while in the "care" of the tow company. I used to work for a tow company and the drivers including the owner would mess up cars all the time while they were improperly loading them onto a flatbed, towing dollies or anyting else. We have flat tires, body damage and anything else you can think of simply because it was not properly loaded or unloaded correctly. Then the drivers would always lie saying they picked it up that way or they don't know how it happened it must be the customers fault.
As an auto tech with over a decade of experience I’m 100% sure the tow popped his tires. The heat shields underneath rot out all the time or the shop that used a “forklift” to move his truck damaged them. If he just had a little more proof.
I towed for years with J hooks on the A frame [f/wd hooks down] iv'e went under cars w/ rear w drive putting veh. in nuetral to make it roll and used clamps in front never cut a tire.@@MWAmos
Honestly, there was no way the Plaintiff was going to win. That's probably why the Defendent didn't bring anything. Plaintiffs rarely win against tow companies. I can only recall once.
First of all when you release a vehicle from a tow yard, you ALWAYS sign a release form to protect the company from liability such as being sued etc. Second, using a flatbed tow truck you can use the method of strapping all 4 wheels down or using chain hooks on the frame to secure the vehicle. Initially you hook the vehicle with chain hooks to the front control arms or subframe to pull the vehicle on the bed. This is information coming from a current tow truck operator. Sincerely, Synergy Towing & Transport Philadelphia-PA
@@eisbeinGermany only way to damage the front end of a car on a flatbed or wrecker is if they dragged it or the car is too low or the bed isn’t low enough when pulling the vehicle up on the bed. But for a wrecker the wheel lift can damage the front end and underneath the vehicle if the operator isn’t operating the wheel lift properly,
The side wall punctures are usually caused by hitting a curb especially if the curb is jagged. Or of course by vandalism. I doubt by towing. The plates underneath being described are heat shields. Way back in the day when I purchased and drove old used cars. The heat shields sometimes would rattle or fall off. If they couldn’t be tightened any longer. I would just have the shield removed. Making sure not to park on grass or leaves
I have a buddy that works at my local Mavis tire and brakes , he's heaven sent🙏🏾 I hope everyone gets a mechanic on their team. it's so important to either know the cars or know someone who does 😂
You can see the front tire that had the bubble in effect on. You could see that he ran over the tire with the rim, cut a hole in the tire, the tires were damaged because the idiot after he picked it up, chose to drive a block you never do that unless you have a run flat, which being, it’s a Tacoma, it’s a truck, so it’s too heavy to have a run flat so the driver is at fault because he ruined his tires and probably his rims too
I don’t agree with this verdict. They are supposedly supposed to rule with the evidence being more likely than not. And anyone who know how tow companies work, they know how rough they are with cars. What a weird coincidence that they towed his car and then the guy has two messed up tires and the plates under the car are busted . Like really ? That’s how they pick up the car by the tires and by hooking underneath by those plates. Bad ruling on this one
Jeffrey Dahmer, I mean the plaintiff, is straight-up lying. As a claim adjuster I know the first thing you do when you have your vehicle released is walk around the vehicle to make sure that it's not damaged. Let's go with his logic and say that the entire passenger side was flat when he left the lot oh, do you really think you're going to drive for an entire block and not notice it? The minute you leave that lot, your shit out of luck because anything that is damaged at that point is on you.😂
I’ve been a tow truck driver for the last 15 years and I know the tow company didn’t damage his tires. Whether it was on a flatbed or a wheel lift and dollies there’s no touching of the outer sidewalls of the tires. It’s even more of a bogus lawsuit because it was on the same side. The guy bumped a curb or something when he drove out of the lot or down the street. The heat shield he’s talking about wouldn’t be damaged on a tow truck either. Those rust out or bolts come loose and they sometimes rattle. If tow trucks damage tires and other parts of a car they would all be out of business quick. Even if the wrecker driver was negligent the sidewalks of the tires wouldn’t have been touched putting it on or off the truck. Negligence usually causes damage to bumpers or bending a control arm or tie rod when they hook it up wrong. The judge made the right decision on this one at least. I’ve watched a couple others that involved tow companies and I didn’t agree with her verdict against the tow company. It’s hard to understand how something may or may not happen if you don’t know how to operate a tow truck.
Wait- how is it an accident to have your truck blocking a driveway but also you're told you don't have to move it because the neighbor is gone? That means you knew. That means it was intentional, not an accident.
The plaintiff said that the tires were 6 months old, but the picture he provided looked like tires were almost done. If you hit a pothole hard enough, that will cause the side wall to pop. If he drove it flat, there was a good chance he could have damaged the heat plate under the truck.
He was pissed he was towed and had to pay...drove off like speedy gonzales...hit that construction and tore up his tires and the underbody of his truck....tried to blame the tow. BYE!😂
It’s sad because I believe the tow yard was at fault and unfortunately this young man didn’t bring enough evidence but who teaches these things nobody not the schools it’s like a person turns 18 and just has to know everything
😂😂huhhhh. It’s called common sense. Some things don’t need to be explained. If he didn’t know he needed paperwork to prove the tow yard was at fault, then he’s a lost cause. I guess he thought those two buttons he left undone would help him
I disagree!! However I don’t believe the plaintiff is lying or trying to run a scam. I think he’s truly believes that the defendants company caused the damage. He most likely ran into a pot hole causing the damage to both tires on the same side. That makes the most sense!!
I am a man, can you explain how she is being condescending ...I didn't hear anything like it,but I was more focused on the defendants left eye and wondering why people don't like to wear eye patches anymore...I mean give me a chance and I would be. Not that I want to loose an eye. But at least wear a darker lenz on the side ...🤮🤮🤮
If you got in your truck and the two passenger tires are flat the truck and going to be leaning to the right. You 100% would notice that as soon as you got in it.
I wonder, since the tires were on the passenger side (aka the sidewalk side when parked) if the home owner, that was sick of people blocking their driveway, slashed the tires by puncturing them but the tires didn't go flat right away and leaked out slowly... It would make sense why it's that side of the car and why the damage is on the side of the tires.
Except the lady who was sick of having her driveway blocked was not at home! She was away on vacation and only saw the vehicle on her ring camera that showed her a video of it
It's a pick up truck and it's very possible to drive a block, wondering what the issue is, and only stop after a block. A block isn't far. He said he knew something was wrong. He just didn't know it was a flat tire until he actually got out his car and looked. Silly of him yes to pick up his car and not check for visible damage, but it's possible for someone not to know a tire is flat immediately upon moving an inch. Happens every day.
It doesn't matter who won. The defendant is a poor business man. I think he acted stupid. Why would he be better off next time. If this is the first time he's been sued. Why would he think or even say the next time
Definitely was a cash/hidden job! I wish she would ask if he paid cash! Cuz I bet he did and buddy didn’t pay tax on it that’s why he had zero paper work
It was a truck...IF you have 2 flat tires on the SAME SIDE of the vehicle...You would have known that u had 2 flat tires BEFORE you even got in....You would be able to think...HMMM MY VEHICLE IS NOT SITTIN RIGHT....Let me go check the other side of my vehicle BECAUSE ITS LEANING ......SMH he tried tho lol
I HATE TOW TRUCK DRIVERS!!! They towed my new truck from a restaurant once the driver dragged my truck around the corner, and then he reconnected properly. When I picked it up. The front and rear was damaged they said it was already like that.
I’m curios, I’ve been towed a couple of times. Long ago, tow companies used a form to mark any damage. Even if he wasn’t present,I’m thinking there should be a form, to cover their butts. Heck these days, I’m thinking they’d have the form, AND pics. That’ll show damage, no damage. Suspicious no proof for court, especially on the tow co. smh
he partially sued for $500 because he didn’t drive do to a rattle. i think something is rattling upstairs. and why wouldn’t you drive your car because of a rattle? what’s wrong with this kid. he needs a life. the video showing the bubbling looks like it’s a slit about 1/2l” to 3/4” long… which says the tires were stabbed with a knife. there’s not way the flatbed would cause any damage like that. if you have a very expensive car, do yourself a favor, request a “flatbed tow”. it’s the best way to transport a vehicle in order to “prevent” damage. this clown is trying to sue for damages caused by a flatbed. i think he needs to go to bed. the tow guy was called and performed his service, and deserves to get paid. the plaintiff should get his tow from the ring door bell lady. the judge absolutely made the right call.
Maybe someone punctured the tires... people get peeved when you park in their driveway. It's just sus that it was on the side of the tire front and back...🤷🏾♀️
Either way the Judge was wrong yet again!! The guy went to visit a friend and vehicle is fine. Then someone calls a tow truck because he is partially blocking a driveway and when he goes to pick up his car suddenly he has two flat tires and rattling heat plates under the car. Plus the flat tires are on the side of the tires! The only place it’s been is where he originally parked it and the tow yard with only the tow guys handling it! Common sense says THE TOW COMPANY did something to it. The judge is as usual so busy YELLING that no one can concentrate and not listening to the whole story. If she would just stop her incessant screeching she might be able to see the logic. That noise is neither productive nor cute!!!
They probably pulled the truck away from the curb and it rubbed something sharp against the sidewall. All cars in the US park with the passenger side against the curb
The first "reporter" that interviews the participants (Doug) is kind of annoying? He asks questions that we all know what the answer will be, for example asks the plaintiff after loosing there case "how do you feel about the decision? Well duh they aren't going to say I think it was an excellent decision. He then proceeds to lecture the people like he is superior in intellect to them. He is an actor for crying out loud, that's it. Personally I think he should have retired when Judge Wapner retired .....
Why is she smiling at the defendant when he did not bring any paperwork? Answer: because she had a great night "last night." I have a feeling when she had a good night with her husband the night before taping, her attitude will be nice and patient like this. And if not......😮 Added: arrrrggggh! The defendant brought *nothing* and the judge ruled in his favor--- so why *should* he bring any evidence?
Another stupid verdict from this ridiculous judge, tow companies damage cars all the time, I've seen this firsthand on many occasions, the tow rep brought nothing to back up anything on his side, the plaintiff had video and paperwork and yet he gets nothing, the truck was in the tow services care and upon leaving there were immediate issues, ridiculous!
The truck was parallel parked with something in front of it and something behind it. The tow truck pulled it out of that spot. They damaged this truck.
Ok… my car gets towed and I have receipts for a new windshield, does that mean the tow company pays? His logic is something only a tard…o would agree with.
I made it on empty 35 miles from to my house in my Audi a6 I couldn't believe I made it home I ran out of gas in my driveway. So I'm saying it was lying that car wasn't suppose to even get 35 miles a gallon never mind on empty
One note not mentioned.his truck was not done by himself..it was the operator of the forklift .He picked up the truck from the passenger side and on 1 attempt he punctured the tires..
