Is this company reliable for cracking my friend's windshield?

Question

A friend of mine is currently on his way into town,, however, what I'm guessing is either a landscaping companies truck, or a truck that belongs to a construction crew, was traveling in front of him and one of the rocks he was hauling fell off and cracked my buddy's windshield.

My friend says he got the guy to pull over, and he told him to contact his company about the incident.

My question is, is this company reliable for damages to my friends car?.. I've heard once before that no, they are not. However, that just sounds super wrong...

if the rock fell off the truck & onto your friend's car then the company is liable for the damage.

if the rock was on the road & the truck threw the rock up to hit your friend's car then they are not liable.

your friend's issue is proving that the rock fell off the truck if the company contests him.

Yes

A company hauling stone is liable for such accidents, even when they stick a tiny sign the truck that tells you to stay back five hundred feet.

The difficulty is proving the issue in court when they refuse to pay.
