Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Serious Injuries
Modern tire technology has made tire blowouts much more rare than they used to be. However, when a tire is defectively designed or manufactured, it can actually contribute to blowouts and other serious accident-causing situations.
A tire blowout caused by a defective tire can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, resulting in a collision with another vehicle or stationary object.
Tire defects are also known to be a major cause of vehicle rollovers. The dedicated personal injury lawyers at our firm help clients pursue products liability claims against the manufacturers and retailers of defective tires that are subject to tread separation and other failures.
If you have been injured due to a tire defect, you may be entitled to compensation. Also, if someone else has been injured in an accident caused by your defective tires, the manufacturer may be required to indemnify you against the injured person's potential personal injury claim.
What Happens If You Ignored a Tire Recall?
Over the years, there have been many high-profile recalls of defective tires. If your tires were recalled and you didn't respond and kept driving with those tires, the insurance company may try to claim that you were at fault for any injuries caused by them.
Florida is a comparative negligence state, which means that even if you were partially at fault for your injuries, you can still collect compensation from a party that was also responsible. Contact us today to discuss your specific circumstances with an experienced attorney.
