As explained by AAA Exchange, every state in the nation has a Move Over Law, though many people are unaware of this law. While state laws slightly vary, they generally require drivers to reduce their speed or move over to provide more room for emergency vehicles and workers—including tow truck drivers, as well as emergency responders and police—to assist individuals after an accident. Liability refers to the legal responsibility an at-fault party has to compensate the victim for expenses and effects of injuries or property damage. The Move Over Law can affect liability if your accident resulted from another driver failing to move over or slow down for the tow truck. Even if the individual who caused the accident was unaware of the move-over law, they are still liable for injuries and property damage if they fail to follow the law.
