If you or someone you love has been involved in a motorcycle, truck, SUV or car accident as a result of a defective tire, you may be entitled to take legal action against the manufacturer. A Los Angeles automotive product liability lawyer at our law firm can help you explore your legal options and bring a lawsuit against the responsible company.

Defective Tire Accidents & Injuries

A defective tire puts the driver of the affected vehicle as well as all other motorists on the road in danger of injury. If the driver loses control as a result of a tire blowout, the tire may separate from the vehicle into traffic, resulting in a separate accident. The initial vehicle may also collide with one or more other vehicles after the driver loses control, causing a multi-vehicle accident. Any type of motor vehicle may be at risk of being involved in an accident due to a defective tire, but vehicles with a high center of gravity, such as an SUV or truck, may be at an increased risk of rollover or of the driver losing control in the event of a tire blowout. Defective tires are particularly dangerous when used at high speeds, such as on freeways where a vehicle's speed may exceed 60 miles per hour.
