Hadley Tow, Owned by Mark Hassan, Sued for Damaging Motorist's Bumper; Hassan Engages in Coverup.

Mark Hassan

On July 8, 2024 - I sued F M G, Inc. dba as Hadley Tow, because Hadley Tow damaged my bumper and engaged in a coverup, instead of accepting responsibility. On February 24, 2024 - the back rear tire popped on the freeway. I called AAA Emergency Roadside Assistance, who contracted out Hadley Tow to fix the tire. When the driver,  Roberto, ID 142 119, towed my car on the bed, the harness snapped. (Photo published below.) My car was dangling on by one harness and if the other harness had snapped, it would have fallen off the inclined tow bed.

I made several demands from Hadley Tow, who ignored all them. I then made a claim with AAA, submitted the photo of the harness and the a statement of facts.

AAA asked Hadley what happened. Mark Hassan of Hadley Tow called me and said, although they haven't reviewed the evidence, they were going to deny the claim, because he didn't want to pay. Hassan then told AAA that my rear tire popped, causing the bumper damage, which is obviously not true.

 AAA asked for the picture of my bumper before the tow, which I was able to retrieve. To their benefit and commitment to customer service and excellence in professionalism, AAA reimbursed me the small amount for the damage. Again, this was a very small amount, around $600. Thanks to AAA for doing the right thing. 

Returning to the topic of Hadley Tow, it was difficult to sue it, because they do business as F M G, Inc. In fact, a background search found that Mark Hassan is associated with 7 other companies; they are R & R Cleanrs, Inc.; Crescenta Valley Tow, Inc. ; F M G, Inc.; Presitge Collission Auto Body, Inc.; Hadley Towing Equipment, Inc.; Courtesy Transport & Towing, Inc.; Whittier Auto Dismantling, Inc.; Geneva Motors Inc.; and another Gevena Motor subsidiary.

Although AAA covered my damages, because Hassan's coverup, I'm still suing for a few hours of lost work time, which is a natural and foreseeable consequence of the negligence committed by his company, if not the outright fraud committed by Hassan with his coverup.

Mark Hassan has a bad reputation with the community and a reputation for dishonesty. According to Whittier News, he has been in collusion with the police for engaging in illegal activity before. 

Greg S. Tuttle of Baldwin Park stated that Mark refused to get the proper permits to operate his tow company in Baldwin Park and started running it illegally and shoddily. Hadley Tow has since been ousted from doing business with the City.

The damage to my bumper and the following cover up is a sign that Mark Hassan is running his business poorly and cutting corners, which is evidenced by all his history above.
