Thoughts on tire blowouts

Tire blowouts can lead to devastating accidents, as seen in this incident in Austin County, TX. Tire failure crashes are particularly concerning because they occur suddenly, leaving drivers with little time to react and control their vehicles, increasing the risk of serious injury or even death.

While several factors can cause a tire to fail, in some cases, tire blowouts happen due to defects in the manufacturing process. This means that the tire may have been faulty from the start, and the blowout was completely outside the control of the woman injured here. This is not fair, and if it is determined to be true, Ms. Montondon deserves justice.

Trained professionals will need to examine the tire involved in the accident to determine if a manufacturer defect was responsible for the blowout. If so, the manufacturer must be held accountable for their negligence. We cannot tolerate the presence of dangerous, defective tires on our roads, endangering the lives of countless motorists.

As legal professionals with decades of experience handling cases involving tire defects, we aim to hold manufacturers accountable to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
