The lessen here is, don't follow anything you cannot see through.
Car with Tinted Rears, I go around them, Trucks, pass em, SUV's flip them off for making it so goddamn hot, then I pass em. if you were behind that truck... you werent driving fast enough.

so i just got off the phone with my insurance company and they said there is no way to get the truck driver to pay for the damages..which really sux.. So today im going to take the z to a body shop and see how much its going to cost.
Funny thing is my insurance adjuster told me that she just got off the phone with someone else that was hit by the same tire, same place, and same time...

I hope this aids you.

If you can just get it done cash might be best but it is a claim that the Insurance copy would pay.
The guy in the truck is not at fault unless the tire fell from his truck bed. Its reasonable to assume he was also a victim of the laid out tire.

wow that is very bad info you just gave out.
Tire hitting his car from road would not be on him. WTF why would they up his rate do to something that was not under his control.

Imagine this... Someone throws a baseball at you and it hits you on the head and bounces off then hits me. Would you assume fault for any injuries I received?

Hope it doesn't cost very much to get it fixed.
