San Marcos California Defective Tire Attorneys

According to tire manufacturer Michelin, tire blowouts result in over 500 deaths and 23,000 auto accidents annually. When caused by tread separation or defective materials, tire manufacturers can be held liable for any injuries or fatalities that occur as a result of a tire blowout. Since manufacturers realize they are liable for injuries that result from defective tires, it's not uncommon for them to argue driver error, road conditions, or debris caused a blowout. However, due to certain technical issues involved in establishing defective materials or manufacturing flaws in tires, Testa & Associates only represents cases involving wrongful death or catastrophic injuries due to a tire blowout.

Injuries and Tire Blowouts

The law office of Testa & Associates represents clients suffering from the following kinds of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident caused by a tire blowout:

• Head trauma
• Spinal cord injury
• Paraplegia
• Quadriplegia
• Disfigurement
• Burns

Due to their high center of gravity, tire blowouts on SUVs often result in rollovers as well. Since there are no federal requirements regarding the strength of a roof, a fair number of SUV rollovers involve roof crush as well. While your injuries may be the result of head and neck injuries due to roof crush, if a tire blowout caused you to take evasive action, both the SUV's manufacturer and the tire maker can be held liable.

Holding tire manufacturers liable for defective tires requires an understanding of the scientific and manufacturing issues involved.
