Since the passage of the Act 50 years ago, 46 million tires have been recalled. Unfortunately, many occupants do not discover the tire flaw through a recall notification, but rather when the tire fails. Brais Law Firm assists crash victims who sustained injuries because of a tire blowout. We often discover during our investigation that the tire manufacturer was responsible for design or production flaws that caused the car to lose traction, careen out of control or flip over. Our Miami defective automobile lawyers have a proven track record of success and reputation that has won us such accolades as Rising Star, Super Lawyers, Legal Elite and Multi-Million Dollars Advocates Forum membership.

Causes of Tire Failure

Drivers throughout the United States travel a total of more than 2,969 billion miles per year. Whereas good tires perform well along these billions of miles, tire failure causes about 33,000 crashes, resulting in 500 fatalities, every year.

Substandard and faulty tires are responsible for many of these crashes. Even the most conscientious vehicle owner may not see the flaw until the tire fails. Tread separation is often not obvious and defects on the inside of the tire are not visible to consumers.

Furthermore, if you bought a new tire from a store other than the tire dealer, as is likely after owning your vehicle for a while, you may never be notified about recalls from the tire manufacturer.

Damages from Tire Blowout and Loss of Traction

A tire blowout or loss of traction can cause your car to skid or rollover, resulting in such recoverable damages as:

  • Brain and spinal cord damage associated with ejection from the vehicle
  • Crush injures occurring from partial ejection from the vehicle in a rollover crash
  • Scars and disfigurement
  • Permanent disabilities
  • Rehabilitation and medical costs
  • Loss of earnings, past and future
