What Are Tire Defects?

Understanding Defective Tire Crash Cases

The León Law Firm knows how to handle tough cases involving defective tires that cause crashes and injure people. Tire defects cases focus on proving that poorly made tires caused serious crashes. We hold tire companies accountable for manufacturing unsafe products. These cases differ from driver error cases because they target the tire manufacturers, not the drivers. You may have claims against large companies like Firestone, Goodyear, Michelin, and others that produce defective tires.

Our Tire Defects Legal Services

The León Law Firm provides comprehensive auto defect lawyer services for people injured by defective tires:

Tire Blowout and Tread Separation Claims

Defective tires can blow out or lose their tread while driving, causing drivers to lose control and crash. Tire blowouts happen when tires burst suddenly due to weak construction or overheating. Tread separation occurs when the tire’s outer layer peels off while driving at high speeds. These tire defects often cause rollover crashes, especially in SUVs and trucks. We help victims of tire blowouts and tread separation get compensation for their injuries. We prove the tire was defective and hold the manufacturers accountable for selling unsafe products that cause crashes.

Design Defects and Manufacturing Errors Claims

Tire companies must design safe products, manufacture them correctly, and test them thoroughly before selling them to the public. Design defects occur when the tire itself is inherently unsafe, even if manufactured correctly. Manufacturing errors happen when individual tires are produced incorrectly or with substandard materials. We hold tire manufacturers accountable for designing defective tires, using cheap materials, failing to test properly, and selling tires they know are dangerous.

Recall and Warning Failure Cases

Tire companies have a duty to warn drivers about known defects and recall unsafe tires when problems are discovered. Many tire manufacturers learn about serious defects but fail to warn drivers or issue recalls quickly enough. Some companies conceal safety data or downplay known tire defects to protect sales. We help victims injured by defective tires that should have been recalled sooner. We prove the company knew about defects but failed to act, putting innocent drivers at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tire Defects

Our skilled legal team answers common questions about defective tire injury cases

Understanding Tire Defects

What types of tire defects cause the most crashes?

Common tire defects include blowouts, tread separation, sidewall failures, belt separation, and bead failures. These defects often happen at high speeds and cause drivers to lose control. Rollover crashes are especially common with tire defects in SUVs and trucks. We also handle cases involving old tires that should have been replaced and tires with hidden defects.

How do I know if my tire was defective or if it was just wear and tear?

Defective tires often fail suddenly without warning, even when they look fine. Signs of tire defects include uneven wear patterns, bulges, cracks, or separation before the tire should be worn out. If your tire failed during normal driving conditions and wasn’t obviously worn out, it may have been defective. We can help you get an expert analysis of your tire to determine if it has defects.

What's the difference between tire defects and driver error?

Tire defects are caused by poorly designed, manufactured, or maintained products, not driver mistakes. Even when drivers maintain proper tire pressure and drive safely, defective tires can still fail suddenly. We focus on tire manufacturer liability, not driver errors. If your tire was defective, you can sue the manufacturer even if you were driving normally when the tire failed.

Legal Process and Evidence

How long do I have to file a tire defects lawsuit?

Time limits vary by state, but most personal injury cases have a two- to three-year deadline from when the crash happened. Don’t wait to contact a lawyer because important evidence can be lost over time. Tire pieces, crash scene evidence, and witness memories fade quickly after crashes.

What evidence do you need for my tire defects case?

We need the failed tire (if available), photos of the crash scene, police reports, medical records, and vehicle damage information. We can help you get crash reports, tire purchase records, and maintenance records. Expert analysis of the tire defects and crash reconstruction is also crucial evidence for proving the tire was defective.

Are tire defect cases part of larger lawsuits?

Some tire defect cases are handled in class action lawsuits or Multi-District Litigation when many people are injured by the same defective tire model. This helps speed up the legal process and share discovery costs. However, each case is still resolved based on your specific injuries and damages, ensuring you get fair compensation for your unique situation.

What if the tire company says the tire failed due to road hazards or poor maintenance?

Tire companies always try to blame crashes on road hazards, under-inflation, or poor maintenance. We examine all the evidence to show the tire failed due to defects, not outside factors. Even if there were road hazards, properly manufactured tires should not fail catastrophically. We use tire experts and testing to prove that the tire had defects regardless of road conditions.

Types of Injuries and Compensation

What types of compensation can I get for tire defect injuries?

You can get compensation for medical bills, hospital costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, and future medical care needs. Tire defect crashes often cause serious injuries because they happen at high speeds. If tire defects caused permanent disabilities or ongoing conditions, you may also get compensation for reduced earning ability and lifelong care needs.

How much compensation can I expect for my tire defect case?

The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how the crash affected your life. Cases with serious injuries like spinal cord damage, brain injuries, or death typically result in higher settlements. We fight for full compensation for all your damages, including future medical needs and reduced quality of life.

What if multiple people were hurt in the same tire defect crash?

Each person injured in a tire defect crash can file their own claim against the tire manufacturer. Family members of people killed in tire defect crashes can also file wrongful death claims. We handle both single-victim cases and multi-victim crashes involving defective tires. Each case is valued based on the individual’s specific injuries and damages.
