Austin Truck Tire Defects Lawyers
Truck tire defects can leave a driver without the ability to control his or her vehicle or to swiftly react in the event of an emergency. As a result, truck drivers may not be able to prevent collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, or structures. Given their size and weight of a commercial truck, these crashes have the potential to inflict severe damage or injury upon those in the path of the uncontrollable vehicle.
If you have sustained an injury in a crash resulting from a truck tire defect, you may be eligible to pursue legal action against the responsible party. For a free consultation, contact the Austin truck tire defect attorneys of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 512-372-8100 today.
The Hazards of Truck Tire Defects
A truck driver’s ability to control their vehicle is often the only thing separating a safe exit from the highway and a catastrophic collision when an emergency arises. A tire defect has the potential to severely impair a driver’s ability to keep their truck under control, as these defects can influence a variety of control systems. These problems can create the following dangers:
- Inability to steer safely
- Inability to brake safely
- Leaving large, potentially hazardous debris on the road
A common problem with tires is a blowout, which occurs when a tire ruptures. In these cases, a truck driver may momentarily lose control over their vehicle, which can be just enough time to collide with another vehicle or run dangerously off of the road.
