South Carolina Defective Tires
Defective Tires Can Lead to SEVERE INJURIES ON THE ROAD
A tire blowout can have deadly results, especially while traveling at highway speeds. Tread separation is a tire defect that can cause a blowout. One of the deadliest auto safety crises in history involved defective tires made by Firestone. Tread separation caused certain types of Firestone tires to fail, which resulted in hundreds of deaths.
If you or someone you know was seriously injured due to a defective tire, don't hesitate to contact an experienced attorney. At Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A., we can protect your rights. Choose attorneys with more than 75 years of experience helping people in all types of personal injury cases.
A blowout can be deadly because the driver may lose control and collide with another car, leading to severe injury or even a potential wrongful death lawsuit. A blowout on an SUV may lead to a rollover accident.
Other cases of defective tires or malfunctioning tires may involve:
- Oversized tires — Cars and trucks have certain tire specifications. An accident may result if a dealer or retailer put the wrong size tire on your vehicle.
- Mismatched tires — Tires that are mismatched may affect the vehicle's handling, which could result in an accident.
- Old or aged tires — A dealer or retailer may sell you an old tire as new. A tire that never has been used may be defective because it spent too much time in a warehouse or on the retailer's showroom. The material making up the tire breaks down as it ages.
