San Diego Tire Defects Lawyers
Vehicle defects are a very serious matter that may put you at serious risk of an accident and suffering potentially life-altering injury. On average, 40,000 deaths are caused by car accidents every year in the United States. Unfortunately, many of these are caused by a vehicle defect, such as a defective tire. Tires are one of the most important parts of your vehicle and, if they malfunction due to a manufacturing defect, you may be able to take legal action and fight for compensation.
When tires malfunction and blow out, they leave drivers extremely vulnerable to an accident. If you’ve been the victim of an accident caused by tire defects, our attorneys will fight for the compensation you may be due.

Consequences of Tire Defects
There have been a number of defective tire recalls, including name brand tires like Ford Firestone, Dunlop, and Cooper, across the United States in the past five years. However, a tire does not need to be recalled to be defective and cause a person undue injury. Some common consequences of tire defects include:
- Tires shredding
- Tire tread separating from rest of tire
- Increased risk of blowouts
If you are driving on defective tires, you face a significant risk of having a tire blowout while driving. Blowouts can significantly increase your chance of being in an accident and suffering potentially serious injuries that could impact every aspect of your life.
