Common Causes of Car Accidents Caused By Tire Defects
A defective tire in a vehicle can cause an accident in several different ways. Motorists rely on well-functioning tires to drive safely. Whenever a tire fails to function properly, this could cause the motorist to lose control of his or her vehicle and is likely to cause an accident. The following are a few examples of tire defects that could result in a car accident: Tire blowouts, Tread separation, Defects in the sidewall construction, Brittle, cracked, or old rubber was used to make the tire, and Problems with the tire’s pressure.
Determining Fault after an Accident
When a tire blows out, this does not automatically mean that the company that manufactured the tire will be responsible for the car accident. In order to obtain monetary compensation after an accident, it is important to establish fault for the accident. It is necessary to demonstrate fault through a preponderance of the evidence, which will indicate that the tire had a flaw and that this flaw was the primary reason behind the injury-causing accident.
The following elements must be established to prove a case against an at-fault party: 1) The tire was being used as it was intended to be used; 2) The tire was flawed in its design, manufacturing, or when it was installed; 3) The defect in the tire was the proximate cause of the accident; and 4) The victim sustained damages as a result of the accident caused by the defect in the tire.
