Tire Failure Lawsuits

Tire Failure Lawsuits:
Defective tires may lead to tire failure; which includes blowouts, tread separation, poor belt adhesion and sudden loss of air.

Tire failures resulting in blowouts, tread separations, belt separations and sudden loss of tire pressure drastically increases a vehicle’s chance to roll over. This danger is compounded even further in top-heavy vehicles such as SUVs because they sit higher above the road than other cars. Sport utility vehicles are far more prone to rollovers for having a higher center of gravity.

Severity of Rollovers

Whether in a car, truck, van or SUV, vehicle rollovers are often the most dangerous crashes to be involved in. Rollover crashes exert a tremendous amount of force on both the occupants and the vehicle. Drivers and passengers have a much higher risk of being seriously or catastrophically injured in a rollover crash than in a side or rear crash. Rollover accidents accounted for more than 10,000 fatalities in the United States in 1999, which was more than side and rear crashes combined.

Defective Product Lawsuits

Many tire defects and tire tread separation failures at highway speeds can cause a car, truck, van or SUV to lose control and roll over. Serious injuries and deaths resulting from these rollover accidents are the basis for many tire failure lawsuits against the manufacturers of the defective tires. Tire manufacturers have known that a leading cause of tread separation is due to the design and placement of certain belts, safety pliies and the overlying tread. Tread and belt separations can also occur from poor adhesion of the tire components during the manufacturing process. In a tire failure accident, an occupant can be severely injured from roof crush, roof collapse, failed door latches, defective door locks, seatbelt defects, buckle malfunctions, seatback failures and non deployment of defective airbags.
