Tire Defects and Wrongful Death
Given the size and speed of the typical automobile, any collision has the potential to result in injuries that are severe and possibly fatal. There are many other accidents, however, that are directly caused by defectively designed or constructed car parts. Tire defects are among the most devastating because they create a substantial risk of rollover accidents.
If your loved one has been tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident that appears to have been caused by a tire defect, then it may be in your best interest to file a legal action against the tire manufacturer.

Different Kinds of Tire Defects
The tires represent the only point of contact between a car and the ground, so anything that compromises that connection has the potential to render a vehicle uncontrollable. This is a risk even for very capable drivers. Accordingly, it is of the utmost importance that tire companies exercise good judgment when evaluating whether a tire is suitable for use.
Different kinds of tire defects may include:
- Tread separation
- Inadequate tire wall thickness may cause a blowout
- The use of substandard materials can lead to irregular wear
- Separation from the wheel due to defective manufacture or tire design
