Small claims court can be used to sue the towing company. This can be done by going to the town clerks office or county clerks office. Chances are though, even if you win the suit you will not collect. The other choice is hiring a lawyer and suing in a civil court.

no
Can you tow your 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo behind your RV without a dolly and without hurting it?
According to the owners manual for my 02 Grand Cherokee Laredo you can tow with all four wheels on the ground after you put the transfer case in neutral, then with the engine shut off, put the transmission in Park. The key should be in the unlocked OFF position. This is found in the manual under the heading Towing- Recreational. I am guessing yours will work the same way. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be observed when towing a vehicle: Do not use steering column lock to secure steering wheel during towing operation. 2WD vehicles can be towed with the front wheels on the surface for extended distances at speeds not exceeding 48 km/h (30 mph). Many vehicles are equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. To avoid component damage, a wheel-lift towing vehicle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended. Secure loose and protruding parts. Always use a safety chain system that is independent of the lifting and towing equipment. Do not allow towing equipment to contact the disabled vehicle
Can the towing company charge you to retrieve your personal property in Minnesota?
If your vehicle is in a private impound or police impound then yes. They only are obligated to give you without charge your government issued ID card(s), medication(s), and corrective lenses. They can hold anything else, even your house keys, clothes, food, whatever. Also if you "abandoned" your vehicle at an impound in Minnesota and the towing company goes through the legal process of placing a lien on your vehicle the property goes with the car.

Does a 1995 Cherokee trailer hitch fit on a 1997 Cherokee se?
Yes. but be aware that towing capacity will depend on things such as suspension compontents and transmission oil cooler. A 97 fitted correctly could easily pull more weight than a 2001 Sport. Because towing a trailer involves optional equipment over and above the hitch itself I recommend that you consult the dealer or a hitch specialist shop to make sure that what you want to tow is compatible with your vehicle. Usually a quote will be free. Yes the hitch fits on but be careful that you put it on all the way so your stuff doesnt fall off

If your transmission was damaged during the towing of your repossessed vehicle which you recovered can you get the towing company or lender to pay for the damages?
Probably not. The risk was yours since towing was the logical next step for failing to meet the requirements of the loan. It was your failure to meet the requirements of the loan which led to the vehicle being repossessed which subsequently caused the vehicle to be towed. All the towing company needs to do is to prove that they used standard towing practices.

Does auto policy cover damage done when the vehicle towing the utility trailer is damaged?
In dealing with a towed trailer, the liability coverage will extend from the vehicle towing to the trailer being towed but the physical damage coverage does not extend. This means that if you are backing up at a fuel station and the trailer backs into another vehicle then the liability will cover the damage done to the other car that is damaged by the trailer. Any damage done to the trailer itself will not be covered.
What are the laws for flat towing an unregestered vehicle in MI?
If you are flat towing the vehicle doesn't need to be registered. It just has to be towed using DOT approved equipment (no, tow straps aren't legal) and it has to have brake & turn signals mounted on the rear of the vehicle so the driver behind you can see them. Basically the car has to be a fixed distance from the towing vehicle, and has to be held on the center line of the tow vehicle. Using a standar tow bar, like many jeep owners do, is fine. Basically as long as you are towing it properly, the fact that it isn't registered wont matter.
