the other cars damage? I was driving and one of my ropes broke I started to slow down and move into the shoulder when a an A/C fell off my truck and landed on the shoulder. I stopped, backed up and smash this old ford explorer hit my condenser, an 18-wheeler and 6 other cars went by and didn't hit it. The A/C wasn't even in the road it was on the shoulder almost in the ditch. The guy hit it head on, I am pretty sure he hit it on purpose because he said he had just been laid off and all that crap, but I don't think I can say anything to my insurance.
 
It all depends on the circumstances surrounding the incident. You may have to go to court and have a jury come to that conclusion.
 
Unfortunately, most conclusions will be be based on the load not being securely tied down on the truck. Sorry.
