Do you think that it had the cables reversed, i.e. positive to negative, that caused it? If it was caused by some malfunction in your own vehicle, like an electrical short, the towing company might not be liable. Obviously, there was a reason your battery was drained. That's what you're going to have to determine before you point the finger of blame at someone else.
