Truck Tire Defect
Tire defects are a major risk on any kind of motor vehicle, but they can pose an especially high level of danger when they are present in large commercial truck tires. Commercial trucks can weigh thousands of pounds and travel at 70 MPH or more. It is vitally important for their tires to be safely built, installed, and maintained.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a commercial truck tire blowout, thread separation, or other preventable accident, you may have grounds for a legal claim. Jacksonville truck accident lawyer Don Guthrie will work diligently to build and defend your case. Call our offices at 904-296-1088.
The Dangers of Truck Tire Malfunctions
The responsibility for manufacturing and maintaining safe tires is shared by auto manufacturers, mechanics, and truck drivers. If one or more of these parties fails to perform their duties adequately, the results can be a major accident such as:
- Tire blowouts due to low-quality building materials or sealants, or incorrect inflation
- Separation of the tires’ treads or belts while moving
- Loss of traction due to the tires’ gradually wearing down
- Loosening or breaking of the tire axels
Incidents like these can cause truck drivers to lose control of their vehicles, potentially leading to catastrophic collisions. Some accidents, such as truck tire blowouts, can also cause a great deal of harm on their own. Our Jacksonville truck tire defect lawyers work hard to win fair compensation for the innocent victims of such accidents.
