Tire delamination, tire failures cause deaths, injuries and may merit a defective products lawsuit

tire dangersHas someone in your family been injured in a traffic accident because a tire failed on your vehicle or the vehicle that hit you? If so, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your losses via a defective products lawsuit.

The fact is, some tires are manufactured improperly and are sold to unsuspecting customers with serious flaws and defects. That includes tires which fail due to what’s known as “delamination.”

When delamination occurs, parts of the tire separate, usually while the vehicle is in motion. This can occur at varying rates of speed and under varied conditions. A delamination, also known as a  "de-tread," happens when the tread of the tire separates, often suddenly. Such a tire failure  can be dangerous and cause horrible accidents, including fatal traffic accidents.

The tire separation may take place in as short a time as one second, or perhaps several seconds, but either way the results can be catastrophic. Tire delamination can cause accidents which inflict serious injuries if not death on occupants of vehicles. Indeed, such accidents may have the effect of a sudden tire blowout or tire blowouts.

Often in such cases, the driver unavoidably loses control of his or her vehicle. Such vehicles may roll over, perhaps even several times, and may unavoidably strike other vehicles on the road.

The driver of such a vehicle is not at fault. Indeed, even professional drivers have lost control of vehicles during tests to demonstrate tire delamination.

Instead, at fault is the defective tire which has a “delamination” or “de-tread” that causes the accident and any ensuing injuries. And ultimately this fault -- this blame -- lies with those who manufactured and sold the defective tire or tires.

Victims of such tire failures as tire delamination need not suffer in silence. Instead, they can seek full and fair financial compensation for their losses via a defective products lawsuit. Victims of defective products have a legal right to seek such compensation for their medical costs, their lost wages due to the tragedy and their pain and suffering.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by tire delamination or any other tire failure, notify an experienced defective products lawyer or defective tire lawyer with Jim S. Adler & Associates at once. Then the burden of your recovery can shift to the longtime Texas personal injury law firm in which thousands of Texans have placed their trust for more than three decades.

Your Adler defective products lawyer or injury attorney can fight to hold manufacturers of the tire and/or the automobile accountable for their negligence in producing, marketing and selling such a defective tire. Then you and your family can gain economic recovery, justice and perhaps some peace of mind after suffering injury in a tire delamination accident or a tire failure accident.
