Tire blowouts occur more often than you might think. Michelin Tire reported an estimated 500 deaths and 23,000 accidents every year as a result of tire blowouts. In some cases, these blowouts result from errors by the driver, such as ignoring punctures or low tire pressure, hitting curbs or using tires for far too long. But many times, these blowouts result from defects in the tire’s design, making the manufacturer responsible.
Our semi-truck accident attorneys work tirelessly to obtain compensation for you when you’re injured because of a tire manufacturing defect.
- We look for tread separation. A common problem, tread separation occurs when the integrity of the tire is affected by sub-par materials or by improper bonding. We ensure that tires are inspected for manufacturing defects.
- We research similar cases. In addition to our research, we perform due diligence on the manufacturing company’s history, investigate any claims made against the manufacturer and analyze potential precedents for proving liability.
- We fight for you in court. Our attorneys refuse to accept a settlement offer that isn’t in your best interest. If you’re the victim of a tire blowout injury, we fight tooth and nail for you in a court of law until you obtain the compensation you deserve.
