Tire Defect Lawyers File Lawsuit Against Wanli Tire Corporation After Crash Involving Defective Tire

The Ammons Law Firm has filed a lawsuit against Wanli Tire Corporation Ltd., Guangzhou Wanli Trading Co., and South China Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd. for their alleged roles in a serious accident caused by a defective tire. The lawsuit claims these companies designed, manufactured, and sold a faulty tire that failed catastrophically, leading to a rollover crash that severely injured a passenger.

The incident occurred when the tire in question, mounted on a Ford truck, suddenly experienced tread separation while the vehicle was in motion. This unexpected failure caused the driver to lose control, resulting in the truck rolling over multiple times. The passenger suffered devastating injuries in the crash, including spinal fractures that left her permanently paralyzed below the shoulders.

According to the lawsuit, the tire contained several critical defects. The Ammons Law Firm alleges that the tire’s internal components were not properly bonded during manufacture, leading to premature degradation of the rubber. Additionally, the tire’s innerliner was reportedly too thin and poorly bonded, allowing air and moisture to penetrate the tire’s structure and accelerate fatigue.

The lawsuit claims that these defects made the tire unreasonably dangerous for its intended use. It alleges that the defendants failed to incorporate sufficient safety features into the tire’s design to prevent tread separation. Furthermore, the suit contends that the companies did not adequately test the tire or warn consumers about its potential dangers.

The Ammons Law Firm is pursuing multiple legal theories in this case. These include strict product liability, alleging that the tire was defective in its design, manufacture, and marketing. The firm is also claiming negligence, arguing that the defendants failed to exercise reasonable care in producing and selling the tire. Lastly, the lawsuit includes claims for breach of implied warranties, asserting that the tire was not fit for its intended purpose or of merchantable quality.
