Road accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans aged 1-54. We all rely on our cars for our daily commutes, but they are such fragile machines that the tiniest problem could be disastrous.
Defective tires are certainly a key contributor to accidents every year, which is why auto manufacturers tend to recall vehicles with defective tires.
Defective tires aren’t always recalled, though, so if you believe that a defective tire is the cause of your accident, you can seek legal action.
Flaws in the tire(s)’ design often cause them to become defective, which is grounds for a lawsuit if the manufacturer puts those cars on the road knowingly or negligently.
Be sure to regularly check your tire pressure and have them serviced by a professional to avoid an accident.
When a defective tire causes an auto accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the tire manufacturer. Contact a products liability lawyer at Pulvers, Pulvers & Thompson, L.L.P. to discuss your options.
