According to the National Transportation Safety Board, over 30,000 accidents happen every year due to tire blowouts. Tires are especially prone to blowouts and even manufacturer recalls because they are exposed often to harsh road conditions and continuous wear.
If a driver is driving reasonably and sensibly and experiences a blowout that leads to an accident, they may hold the manufacturer responsible. However, as a responsible driver, vehicle owners are expected to regularly examine their tires. Should a tire experience a blowout while driving on threadbare or spare tires, the fault may belong to the driver.
Liability due to a vehicular tire blowout can be complicated and difficult to decide. For accidents involving a blowout, the best course of action is to talk with a qualified, experienced attorney immediately. Seeking professional counsel can help accident victims decide whether prosecution is the right course for them based on the circumstances of the crash.
