The quality of the tires on a vehicle plays an important role in the overall performance and safety of the vehicle. Tires support a vehicle’s weight, ensure proper maneuvering when making turns, and lessens the impact of the road. If a tire is improperly manufactured, blow outs and tread separation can occur, which can lead to rollovers and collisions. If a motorist is injured in an accident due to one or more defective tires, the manufacturer could be held liable for negligence.
Injuries sustained in accidents and rollovers due to tire tread separation can be life-altering and catastrophic, both for the injured individuals and their families. Oftentimes, intense medical treatment is needed for extended periods of time, if not for the rest of the victim’s life, which can be an extreme financial and emotional burden. Physical therapy, rehabilitation and extensive surgeries may be required to give back even a portion of the life the victim had prior to the accident. Some injuries that may result from a tire tread separation crash include:
- Disfigurement
- Amputation
- Spinal cord injury
- Paraplegia and quadriplegia
- Head trauma and other brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Neck injuries.
