Tire Defects

Tire Defects Can Cause Serious Injuries

No matter how safe your vehicle is, if the tires are defective, your safety is at risk. Tire defects can cause a driver to lose control of a vehicle, often with catastrophic results.

Successful Representation in tire Defect Cases

The attorneys of Tom Rhodes Law Firm P.C., have successfully represented clients in tire defect litigation against major tire manufacturers like Goodyear, Firestone, Cooper Tires, Uniroyal and others.

We have recovered financial compensation for clients injured by dangerous and defective tires that led to:

• Tire blowouts
• Tire tread separation
• Rollover accidents

Tire makers have recalled numerous bad tires, but many vehicles with tire defects or cracked valve stems remain on the road, putting occupants and other drivers at risk. Our attorneys understand how tires are made and how defects in the design, manufacture or marketing of tires can put consumers at risk.

The Dangerous of Aged Tires

The depth of a tire's tread is not the only measure of its useable life. Tire age is also an important factor — even if the tire has never been used. Tires that have been sitting on a rack at a tire store for six years or more should not be put into service no matter how deep the tread.

If you believe defective tires may have caused or contributed to your car accident, it is important to retain the evidence for analysis and testing. Don't sell or salvage your vehicle or allow the tires to be destroyed.
