Tire Defects

Tires are one of the less expensive parts of a vehicle, yet they are responsible for much of the mobility
and stability of a car. Since tires are the only parts of a car that make contact with the road, it
is important to have good quality tires that hold up in all sorts of driving conditions. Having a tire
blow out or go flat while you are driving is not only an inconvenience – it can put you and your passengers
at risk of a severe or even fatal accident.

Proper tire construction is essential to a safe and stable automobile. A number of different defects
may result from poor construction that compromises the integrity of the tire, including:

• Separation of the tread from the tire
• Shredding of the tire
• Sidewall failure

A tire blow out can cause a vehicle to veer out of control or flip over, resulting in significant injuries
to the driver and passengers and damage to the vehicle. While some tire models are recalled to protect
consumer safety, recalls typically occur only after several accidents have already occurred from the
defect.

If your auto accident was caused by a defective tire, consider contacting a personal injury lawyer immediately.
A personal injury attorney will help protect your interests in a court of law and will fight to hold
defective tire manufacturers accountable for your injuries and damages.
