If you were injured in an accident caused by a tire blowout, you should be entitled to compensation—even if it was not your tire that blew. The manufacturer of a faulty tire should be held responsible for any and all injuries their product has caused, whether or not they were sustained by the person who purchased their tire. The best thing to do is to talk to an attorney who has experience with tire defect claims. You can find out what to do to move forward with a case, and who should be held responsible.
