Question: We were on our way to Fort Lauderdale and had a tire blowout. One of the tires exploded. We lost control of the car and crashed into the block wall on the side of the freeway. The tires were bought a couple of months ago. How do we know if the tire was defective?
Answer: Many tire blowouts can be caused by elements in the road such as sharp objects puncturing the tire, hitting curbs, low tire pressure or driving with a tire that is worn out over time.
There are times that a tire blowout is caused by a defect in the tire, such as the design or a construction flaw by the manufacturer.
If a tire’s tread separates, it can be traced to any number of malfunctions or mistakes in the construction process. When a tire tread separates under high speed, the results are often fatal.
An accident that was due to a tire defect in Fort Lauderdale or anywhere that resulted in causing bodily harm to anyone needs to be investigated. It is important to speak with a Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney as soon as possible to see if you can recover your damages from the tire or vehicle manufacturer.
