Virginia Tire Blow Out Attorney
Problems with tires pose potentially serious problems for drivers. Under-inflated tires, over-inflated tires, old tires, poorly manufactured tires and inappropriate tires for vehicle size and weight are all things that can threaten the lives of drivers and passengers. While many motor vehicle owners take great care to make sure they change their vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, few spend much time considering their tires.
Tire-related accidents have been known to cause some of the most serious traffic accidents, especially when they involve an SUV. SUVs have been criticized as have too narrow of a frame and being top heavy among other things that lead to deadly rollovers when their tires blowout. In such cases, both the tire manufacturer and the vehicle manufacturer may be liable for the accident.
Drivers not only need to be aware of the potential hazards of their own vehicle’s tires on the road, but the potential hazards other people’s vehicles pose; especially large trucks. With the thin margins that many trucking companies operate on, the use of re-treads is becoming increasingly frequent. While tires can be re-treaded safely, when a trucker or trucking company cuts corners when re-treading their tires, they may be held legally responsible for any accidents that happen as a result of their faulty tires. An experienced tire blowout lawyer should be familiar with the signs that trucking companies, drivers and maintenance personnel should have been looking for to avoid these types of injury cases.
