There is no law regarding towing overweight for a non-commercial vehicle.
If you are involved in an accident and it's your fault your Probably going to be sued Whether your overweight or not. That's why you buy insurance.
What happens when your insurance agency finds out your were over your ratings? Do they still have to cover you?
Insurance will not pay anything for you in small claims court due to negligence.
Same thing that happens if you run a red light or were speeding or intoxicated and you cause an accident. These are violation of written law.
What if your tires are worn and you hydroplane or your shocks are worn and you lose control in a bouncy curve? Tie rod breaks, brakes fail, bee flies in the window and you freak out. You swerve to avoid a squirrel and crash. These are not law but could be attributed to negligence. Insurance pays.
Any exclusions will be listed in your insurance contract. Usually acts of war, damage due to racing or intentional damage is not covered.

I always love to hear the people say we'll the insurance won't pay! Sure they will, they have to, it's part of the contract. They may/will drop you afterwards, but they will pay.
