If you are the unlucky one to be traveling on the road next to a car or truck that has a tire blowout, there is little you can do to avoid an accident. Once a tire blows out, the driver will likely lose control of the vehicle, causing it to careen into other lanes and potentially even flip over. When this occurs on the highway, it can cause serious accidents, including multicar pile-ups, with long-term ramifications for the victims.

A tire blowout occurs when a tire rapidly loses pressure and bursts, causing the car to balance on three wheels rather than four. There are several situations that can cause a tire blowout, each of which could indicate a different party is either fully or partially at-fault for the accident.

The owner/driver of the vehicle could be responsible for the blowout if:

  • The tires were not properly inflated.
  • The tires were too worn and improperly maintained.
  • The car was overweight / overloaded.
  • The driver was driving too fast on a rough road surface.

The tire manufacturer could be responsible if there was a design or manufacturing defect with the tire. Additionally, the municipality that manages the road could be responsible if there were potholes or debris on the road that caused the accident.

Tire blowouts can cause severe injuries, such as concussions, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, broken bones, chronic pain, even wrongful death. Many of these injuries can make it difficult or even impossible to work, impacting your current and future ability to support yourself and your family. You are entitled to compensation from the negligent parties for your injuries. Compensation can include funds to cover your medical bills, hospital stay, rehabilitation, physical or occupational therapy, medical devices, medication, lost wages, future lost wages, psychological care, and even the pain and suffering caused by your lower quality of life.

If you have been involved in a serious accident caused by a tire blowout, the single most important step to take is to receive prompt medical care. The second step is to contact an attorney who will fight for you to receive the compensation you deserve. You need a personal injury attorney who is experienced in winning car accident cases to investigate the accident details and determine which party or parties were liable for the accident and should pay for your injuries.
