Tire Defect

When a driver gets into his or her car, he or she expects that her car will function properly. However, the Firestone Tire recall in 2000 brought awareness to the public that tires might not always be functioning properly. The Firestone recall brought awareness about the potential dangers of poorly manufactured and designed tires. Tire recalls typically come after a significant number of drivers and passengers have died, but every major tire manufacturer, including Firestone, Dunlop, Cooper and Uniroyal, has issued a tire recall at some point.

Badly designed and manufactured tires can separate and cause a crash that results in life-changing injuries or wrongful death. Defective tires typically come apart when the vehicle is traveling at a high rate of speed, usually while the vehicle is travelling on the highway. When the tires separate, the blowout can cause the tire to wrap around the wheel, affect the driver’s control of the vehicle. If the tires separate, the car could potentially flip or take a sharp turn into traffic. Sport utility vehicles are especially prone to rolling over because of their high center of gravity. These tires can separate for a number of reasons including poor tire construction, tire manufacturing defects, tire design defects, tire separation and shredding, de-treading, de-beading, and adhesion failures. Tire defect accidents can cause a range of injuries, including broken bones, burns, brain injuries, neck injuries, and spinal cord injuries, such as paralysis.
