Automobile Accident Attorneys

When a defective tire fails the results could be wide ranging. You may be lucky enough to only have to change the tire on some deserted road, or you may find yourself in a hospital with serious injuries.

In recent years several major tire manufacturers have been held responsible for injuries and deaths resulting from the failure of their defective tires. Millions of dollars in damages have been paid to victims of accidents caused by these defective tires.

Defective tires are really dangerous when the tires' tread and belt separate from the main part of the tire. This action leads to a total lack of control over the vehicle and has resulted in serious injuries and deaths.

Many tire manufacturers knew their tires were substandard and sold them anyway. These manufacturers have been held liable for damages, as well they should be. It is very difficult for the average consumer to know if a tire is defective just by looking at it before they buy. We depend on the manufacturer or retailer to make sure they put out a good quality product. If they don't, they should be held liable, and they are.

If you have been involved in an automobile accident caused by defective tires, please contact an automobile accident attorney in your area today so you can receive proper representation and recover the maximum amount of damages you are entitled to.
