Tire Defects
Experienced product liability representation for serious injury cases involving tire blowouts, tread separation, manufacturing defects, premature degradation, and other tire failures that can cause sudden loss of vehicle control.
Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Dangerous Tires
A defective tire can fail without warning causing devastating accidents, serious injuries, or even fatalities. If you or a loved one has been harmed due to a tire blowout or tread separation, you may have a product liability claim.
As an experienced tire defect attorney I fight for victims nationwide, helping them recover compensation from negligent manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
Why Tire Defects Are So Dangerous
Tires are one of the most critical safety components of any vehicle. The tire is the only part of the vehicle in contact with the road. When tires fail, drivers can instantly lose control, especially at high speeds.
Almost all of the safety technology in a vehicle is dependent, to an extent, on the tire. The contact patch of the tire is what starts, stops, and steers the vehicle. When that contact patch is compromised or fails, vehicle control is difficult to maintain and the other safety systems in the vehicle may be called into action. Even properly maintained tires can fail if they are defectively designed or manufactured.
Common Types of Tire Defects
Our firm handles all types of tire defect and failure cases, including:
1. Tread Separation
A leading cause of serious accidents. The outer tread detaches from the tire, often causing sudden instability or rollover.
2. Tire Blowouts
Rapid air loss due to structural weakness, poor materials, or manufacturing flaws.
4. Manufacturing Defects
Errors during production such as improper bonding or contamination can compromise tire integrity.
5. Aging or Degradation Issues
Tires can deteriorate faster than expected due to poor design or materials, increasing the risk of catastrophic failure.
