Determining Who is At Fault
When a product is released onto the market for consumer use, it should be safe and approved for use by the product manufacturer. Products that are backed up with a warranty sometimes limit the level of responsibility that the manufacturer holds, but there many cases where victims can still sue and hold the manufacturer liable for their injuries.
With defective tire cases there are three different possible causes for the defect including:
- The product design
- The way the product was manufactured
- The maintenance of the tire
Tire defects are found to be the underlying cause of many vehicle rollovers and other types of motor vehicle accident. All it takes is for the tire to blowout while driving at a high speed and the driver could lose control of the vehicle.
Types of Tire Defects
Many things can go wrong in the design and manufacturing and maintenance of a tire, but the two most common tire defect cases that we handle include:
- Tire tread separation
- Tire belt separation
During the manufacturing phase there is an adhesive used to stick the rubber onto the metal rim of the tire. However, if the adhesive is ineffective or compromised in any way, then the tire is at risk of separating from the vehicle. There have been several tire recalls in the past from some of the major tire manufacturing companies such as Firestone, Goodyear, Bridgestone and more.
A defective tire can quickly lose pressure and causing the tread or belt to shift or separate which puts the driver at serious risk of an accident. If you believe that a defective tire was the root cause of your accident, then our car accident attorneys can help.
