Defective Tires and Car Accidents

Defective tires can make it difficult to control your car, which can cause you to leave the roadway or veer into the wrong lane of traffic.

2012-11-14

MANCHESTER, NH, November 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Defective tires can cause a car accident or can make a car accident much worse. Defective tires can make it difficult to control your car, which can cause you to leave the roadway or veer into the wrong lane of traffic.

You trust that your vehicle's components and parts are not only in proper working order, but also designed in a way that keep you safe and support the weight of your car. You also trust that the tire was put together according to the design, and that carelessness did not factor into its manufacture.

When a tire is designed or manufactured carelessly and improperly, a tire defect can be produced.

Types of Tire Defects
Tire defects that can lead to a car accident include:
- Tire blowout
- Rim explosion
- Tread separation
- Defective valve stems
- Tire bead failure

Any defect in design or manufacture can ultimately lead to a car accident. The way the tire is put together and the materials used can be a source of defect, or the tire may have been doomed to fail simply because of the way it was designed.

When your tires fail, you can be left facing a devastating and life-changing injury that could have been prevented if your tires were not defective.

What to Do after a Car Accident
In the past, some of the leading tire companies have recalled defective tires. Big names like Firestone and Goodyear have been responsible for defective tires. As a consumer, you trust these companies to make tires that work correctly, or at least that do not place you in a dangerous situation.

Defective tires that cause car accidents are more than a simple mistake. The injury resulting from your accident could leave you facing:
- Medical bills
- Lost work and income
- Disability
- Pain and suffering

If you suspect a recent car accident may have been caused by or exacerbated by defective tires, you should contact an experienced car accident lawyer right away. A lawyer can investigate your case to determine whether the tires played a role in causing the accident. If a tire company, manufacturer or other party is responsible for providing you with defective tires, they should be held accountable. A car accident lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the responsible party.

2012-11-14

Same-Sex Marriage in Maryland Like most of the rest of the country, legal rights for same-sex couples have been slow in coming. There are only a handful of states that have formally expanded the definition of marriage, which has traditionally been defined as the union between a woman and a man. But can more states accommodate a broader definition? That was the question facing voters in Maryland and in three other states in the November 2012 election. These states (Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington), in one way or another all voted "no" when ...

Eyeglass World Encourages Using Sunglasses Year Round

Using a pair of reading glasses that are not for you can have you squinting because they will not meet your eyes' exact needs. ...
