Neumáticos Defectuosos

Much like the groceries in your refrigerator and the prescriptions in your medicine cabinet, tires have an expiration date. Regardless of wear, the chemical properties contained within the rubber of your tires is not meant to last forever. Defective or old tires being sold as new is not something that may be visible to the naked eye.

Manufactures do not like to admit that tires are prone to detreating and blowouts. Tire blowouts, which are often no fault of the drivers, cause thousands of motor vehicle accidents every year, many of them resulting in catastrophic injury. Naturally, vehicles which sit higher off the ground such as trucks and sport utility vehicles that encounter a tire failure or blow out result in more catastrophic damages due to the difficulty in managing such a vehicle after a tire failure or blowout.

If you believe your injuries were the result of a tire failure, then make sure the tires and the vehicle are preserved and kept in a safe place. If the vehicle is not in your possession, then call the company or person who is holding your vehicle and make sure they do not allow the vehicle or its tires to be sold or destroyed. Often we are contacted by individuals whose loved ones were injured or killed in a car accident which they believe was the result of tire failure, but the vehicle and the tires have been sold or destroyed. We need the tires and vehicle to prove your case.

If you believe you or a loved one was injured or killed as a result of a defective tire, then please call us immediately. We will take action to preserve the evidence and protect your rights.
