Defective tires and blowouts

Many people have heard about Firestone recalling tires due to blowout problems on Ford Explorers, causing the SUV to roll over. While Firestone tires got much publicity, many other tire brands, including Continental, Dunlop, General, Goodyear and Michelin also have suffered from tread separation and other problems. In addition, other SUV models also roll over much too easily in emergency handling situations - in part due to defective tires.

Often, tire manufacturers will claim that tire maintenance is a contributing factor of tire-related failures, and the majority of drivers do not regularly check their tires for proper pressure. With this said, tire failure can and often does reflect poor design or construction rather than consumer neglect, and we have the experience and litigation skill to develop and present your liability claim against the manufacturer while refuting the common defense claims of contributory or comparative negligence on the part of the driver victim.

Since we specialize in auto products defect cases such as tire failure, we have built a strong methodology leveraging advanced investigative techniques and expert witnesses. This methodology allows us to find and present evidence of belt separation, tread separation or inadequate adhesion between the metal and rubber components of the tire. And our courtroom experience and knowledge of the auto manufacturers enable us to effectively advocate for our clients.
