Denver Tire Defect Attorneys

Unfortunately, automotive malfunctions and defects, including tire defects, cause many accidents every year in the United States. Your tires provide the first and most important protection against direct contact with the pavement beneath your vehicle. More importantly, they are a critical part of allowing a driver to control his or her vehicle. When a defect compromises either of these functions, the likelihood of a dangerous automobile accident increases significantly.

Tire defects may be a result of flaws in the design of a particular kind of tire, or they may be attributable to mistakes committed during the manufacturing process. If you or someone you know has been injured because of a mechanical defect like tire failure, you may be entitled to receive financial compensation for your injuries and recovery costs.

Common Causes of Tire Defects

Tire defects very often present themselves in the form of dangerous blowouts, though there are other problems that may arise due to a defective tire. The suddenness of blowouts can cause catch drivers off-guard and may lead to an immediate loss of control, making them especially dangerous. The following are representative of problems associated with defective tires:

  • Blowouts
  • Tread separation
  • Premature or irregular wear patterns which interfere with a vehicle’s stopping ability
  • Weakness of tire walls leading to sudden deflation

An accident caused by a tire defect can leave you to cope with significant medical bills, vehicle repair costs, lost wages, and other financial concerns. A successful civil lawsuit can help you to recover financial compensation for these damages, so it is strongly advisable to consult with a skilled and experienced attorney about your legal options.
