Examples of Tire Defects
Tire defects can cause blowouts, tread separation, and serious accidents when a driver loses control. Victims may suffer injuries such as broken bones, severe burns, head or brain injuries, spine injuries, and death because of a vehicle manufacturer’s failure to ensure safe products. The following are types of tire defects that could impact the ability to drive safely:
- Tires that wear down faster than usual
- Tires susceptible to holes or blowouts
- Tires that shred easily with normal use
- Tires that explode while driving
Tire defects often stem from manufacturer errors. Tires that age faster than normal, those made without proper components, and those with dangerous designs could point to issues that occurred during manufacture. However, other parties could also be liable for bad tires that cause an accident. For instance, if an auto shop used old tires but said they were new or used the incorrect tires for the vehicle, the shop could be liable for tire issues. An investigation from Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP could help you understand who might be responsible for your accident.
