Jacksonville Defective Tire Lawyers
According to the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association, tires should last anywhere from 40,000 to 80,000 miles if they are maintained properly. Maintenance includes checking the pressure, alignment, rotation and tread on a regular basis.
Tire Failure
Tires must be properly maintained or the risk of a car crash is high, especially if the weather causes adverse road conditions or a driver is speeding. Yet many car owners do not inspect their tires as often as they should. The National Highway Transportation Safety Board estimates that approximately 400 fatalities occur each year because of tire failure. Many of these fatalities could be avoided if owners replaced tires that are past their life and simple maintenance issues are addressed. If an accident occurs because a driver failed to maintain his or her tires, he or she can be accused of negligence and the injured party can seek damages.
Defective Tires
Defective tires put a driver and passengers at risk of accidental injuries from the first day of use compared to tire failure, which can occur over time. Defective tires are implicated in cases of vehicle rollovers, tire blowouts and tread separation. Serious injuries and fatalities can result from these catastrophic road conditions. The tire manufacturer will be held responsible for any injuries the use of the tires caused. However, a distributor or vehicle service company can also be implicated.
