Semi-trucks and dangerous tire blowouts

When a steer axle on a semi-truck fails, it may be the tire was defective, and the manufacturer of the tire is responsible for the crash.

We are seeing a growing trend in steer axle tires failing due to manufacturing defects. These defective tires hit the roadways straight out of the manufacturer’s hands, with no one suspecting they were damaged and defective. These deadly tires cause catastrophic accidents that lead to severe injuries and fatalities. When manufacturers cause serious harm, they are legally liable to answer and account for their faulty products.

This accident needs to be investigated by trained tire defect attorneys who have handled this type of crash before. They are complicated cases, and the tire manufacturer will do everything it can to avoid liability. However, we are seeing more and more of these and are very concerned that several manufacturers are to blame.

May the surviving family receive the answers and justice they deserve.
