Phoenix Defective Tire Accident Lawyer

Yokohama issued a recall of its 529 Yokohama RY023 tires, and you did not get the memo. As you head to work, you suddenly lose control of your car, spinning 180 degrees into oncoming freeway traffic and getting hit head-on by a car that could not brake fast enough to avoid the collision.

You later discover that the tread on one of your Yokohama tires had separated from the tire casing—the very reason the tire manufacturer had issued a recall of these tires.

The injuries you suffered in the accident are painful and debilitating—not to mention expensive. You tell yourself that Yokohama probably will not compensate you because the company did everything to alert you of the tire defect and offered to replace the defective tire free of charge.

Defective Tires Can Kill

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) knows how dangerous a defective tire can be. In 2017, a total of 738 people died on the road in tire-related crashes, the group reports. Sometimes the tire defect is caused by negligent manufacturing. Other times, installation and maintenance lead to tire problems that cause accidents.

To cut the incidence rate of these tragedies, NHTSA teamed with the Department of Transportation to create its TireWise website as a resource for consumers to use when buying new tires or seeking ways to improve the safety of their existing tires.

If a family member or loved one died in a defective tire accident in Phoenix, you can file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party. Call our Phoenix defective tire accident lawyers, and we will walk you through the process.

The Most Common Tire Defects

The stability of a tire means everything in terms of not only the tire’s performance but also the vehicle’s performance. Any defect can cause the tire to malfunction—expand, lose traction, blow out, vibrate, or even fall off. The vehicle ceases to be much good to anyone when any of these events happen.

The most common tire defects are as follows:

• Improper installation of the tire
• Poor design
• Use of inferior rubber and/or other products in the manufacture of the tire
• Tread separation
• Over or under inflation
• Hot roadways or climate
• Tire punctures
• Air pressure issues

Any of these malfunctions can cause a driver to lose control of his vehicle and lead to an accident.

A Defective Tire Accident Lawyer in Phoenix Can Determine Who is Liable for Your Accident

Whether the defect resulted from negligence on the part of the tire manufacturer, tire shop, mechanic, or car owner, somebody breached his or her duty to the consumer and to other motorists.

Here is how our legal team would approach determining who is at fault for the hypothetical defective tire accident posed above.

1. We would send an accident reconstruction specialist from our network to piece together how the accident happened.
2. He would tell us a defective tire was the catalyst.
3. We would determine that the tire manufacturer was Yokohama.
4. We then apply the standard test for determining Yokohama’s fault and liability:

Criteria for Determining Fault and Liability

• Did the party had a duty of care to you?
• Did the party breach that duty?
• Did the breach of duty cause the unsafe condition that caused your accident and injuries?
• Did you suffer damages as a result of the accident and your injuries?

Clearly, we would answer “yes” to all the above questions as Yokohama is at-fault and liable for your damages.

Call Zanes Law, and a defective tire accident lawyer in Phoenix, AZ will lay out a plan for finding the at-fault party in your defective tire accident and bring that party to justice.
