Accident Caused by Tire Blowout & Separation

Two causes of tire failure can result from defective tire design or negligent maintenance. Tire manufacturers are aware that the leading cause of tire malfunction is failure to follow exact procedures during the production stage. There are complicated chemical procedures as well as the placing of the components in the correct order necessary to make a tire that is dependable and durable. One contributing factor in tire failure is an incorrect placement of the belts and overlaying tread. Another cause can be failure of tire components to stick to the rubber.

Injuries received during an accident caused by a tire / blowout separation can be catastrophic such as a head injury or traumatic brain damage, broken bones, major spinal injury leading to paralysis, crushed organs from a rollover, or death.
