Do I Have A Case?

When trying to validate a defective tire case in Arizona, it must be proven that a tire on the vehicle suffered from a tread belt that has separated or that the tread suffered a separation, as a result of either a defective design or due to a defective manufacturing process.

In most instances, an industry expert is used to test the tire using specialized equipment and testing tools to help determine the true cause of the tire malfunction.

Why Should I Hire A Lawyer?

When an auto accident occurs, the insurance company of the at-fault vehicle is often quickly involved in proceedings. In the event that you have suffered an injury as a result of the blowout, the insurance company may request that you sign documentation or provide a statement. It’s important to remember that insurance companies are only interested in settling your claim for the lowest possible financial amount, as quickly as possible. Any information that you provide may be used against you in the future.

Hiring an injury lawyer can help to protect you from the pitfalls that can arise when dealing with insurance companies, as we can handle those calls and inquiries on your behalf.

As part of building a robust argument for your damages case, we may investigate various elements on the tire itself, including:

• Examining the tire for broken belts and/or cables in the tire tread
• Performing an x-ray on the tire to identify any issues that may not be immediately visible
• Look for indications of tire and wide wall separation
• Review where the tire material began to separate
• Identify is the inner lining of the tire was compromised
• Evaluate the valve stem assembly, in an effort to identify any potential defects or installation issues

If needed, we can also enlist the help of industry experts to add further validity to your claim.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Establishing liability is an important component in building a damages lawsuit. In most instances, there must be serious bodily injury or property damage for there to be recourse against tire manufacturers.

However, if it can be determined that negligence was a factor that contributed to the tire blowout, there may be an opportunity to file a lawsuit.

In the event that a specific brand/type of tire is being reported as having excessive tire failure by multiple drivers, there may also be an issue with the design of the tire or an issue during the manufacturing process that is causing that type of tire to be defective. If so, a claim may be built around a standard of liability that is known as “Strict Liability”.

Strict Liability may apply against a manufacturer that produces these possibly-defective tires, where certain conditions must exist, including:

• A dangerous defect exited in the tire
• That defect resulted in the failure of the tire, which caused property damage and/or injury
• There were no significant changes to the tire when it was sold

If you believe your tire blowout was a result of a defective tire, we welcome you to call our legal team today and allow a lawyer from our firm to review the details of your claim. The initial consultation is free.

What Can Cause a Tire to Fail?

When tire blowouts occur, it can be difficult to determine the exact cause as often, the tire itself is ripped apart shortly after the incident takes place. However, some common causes for tire failure can include:

It’s important to note that it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that their vehicle (including the tires on it), are in a roadworthy condition.

What Should I Do After A Tire Blowout?

After a tire blowout has occurred, the vehicle may suddenly pull in the direction of the blown tire. A blown front tire will be felt predominantly in the steering wheel, while a blown rear tire will be felt via the seats in the vehicle.

There are a number of things that drivers can do immediately following a tire blowout, including:

• Take a firm grip on the wheel
• After indicating your intention to change lanes, ensure that the path is clear and move the vehicle towards the side of the road, away from passing traffic
• Slowly apply the brakes, trying not to slam them
• Bring the vehicle to a full stop when off the roadway, and apply the parking brake
• Turn the vehicle off
• Turn on the hazard lights
• Take photos of the damaged tire and any damage on the vehicle
• If you are able, take out the spare tire and change the tire
• If you are unable to change the tire, call your insurance company and request roadside assistance

Ensuring your safety and the safety of any passengers in your vehicle is paramount following a tire blowout.
