Tire Blowout Accidents Caused by Improper Tire Service
Sometimes tires that were just serviced by a repair shop blow out. Car maintenance and repair shops are obligated to do their jobs professionally. This includes installing the correct tires on the right vehicle and in the proper direction. If a car shop does not use reasonable care in installing or fixing a tire, they may be held liable for any accidents caused by their negligence.
Additionally, service centers are often required to inspect a vehicle’s tires when the vehicle is brought in for routine maintenance and repair. If it is determined that the tires have noticeable issues that require further attention, the provider must advise their customers of the issue to prevent blowouts from happening.
This concept is especially true with commercial vehicles subject to strict maintenance standards. Given the weight of a fully loaded semi-truck, seemingly minor tire issues can lead to sudden tire blowouts. For instance, riding on an under-inflated truck tire causes the tire to overheat, which degrades the structural integrity of the tire, leaving the tire more susceptible to sudden blowouts. Given the known risks associated with the negligent repair and maintenance of a tire, evidence showing a tire was neglected may subject the party to liability.
Only a detailed investigation can determine whether negligent repair or maintenance was the cause of your blowout. This requires an in-depth inspection of your vehicle, its tires, and prior maintenance records. As tire defect attorneys, we can perform this investigation for you and make sure any responsible parties are held liable for your injuries.
Improper tire service practices that can lead to accidents include:
- Unsuitable flat tire repair
- Overused tires with excessive wear and tear
- Poor tire inspection
- Retreading old tires
