Given the sheer size and momentum of an 18-wheeler, a simple tire blowout can turn nasty in the blink of an eye. Even the most skilled truck driver will struggle to regain control and stop safely and, at that time, everyone around them is at risk.
If you’ve been injured as a result of a truck tire blowout, multiple factors will determine who can be sued. If the driver and their employer did not follow correct maintenance procedures, inflated the tires incorrectly, or drove knowingly on faulty tires, then we will hold them liable. If the tires were inherently unsafe or defective, you may have a case against the manufacturer and possibly the distributor of the tires.
Cutting corners on safety is unfortunately widespread in the trucking industry. If you or a loved one has been affected by negligence, we’ll do everything it takes to hold them accountable and get you the compensation you deserve.
