PHOENIX, ARIZONA TIRE DEFECT LAWYER
Defective tires injure and kill thousands of people every year. Accidents result from tire blowout, poor tire construction, or tread separation. Taller vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as trucks, vans, or SUVs are particularly dangerous when tire failure occurs. Taller vehicles are more likely to end up rolling over when tires suddenly fail while moving at a higher speed.
If you or loved one suffered injuries or died in an accident resulting from tire that was faulty or defective, you should consult with experienced personal injury lawyer Nathaniel B. Preston (“Nate”). Nate is knowledgeable in helping fight insurance companies and tire manufacturers so you can get the compensation your claim deserves.
Tire manufacturers are obligated to the general public to produce tire products that are safe and that will not add to the risk of injury or death. If a tire company fails in this duty and you suffer injuries, you can legally pursue a personal injury claim against the tire manufacturer to be compensated for your injuries.

Common Causes of Tire Defects
Tread Separation: Tread separation issues leads to many recalls. Steel-belted radials can separate because it is difficult to bind rubber to steel. A tire properly manufactured has a low probability of tread separation is low unless the tire has been subjected to extreme temperatures or excess water. Every year, thousands of steel-belt radial tires are recalled because they are defective. In 2000, Firestone recalled more than 6 million tires after its defective and poorly manufactured tires led to more than 271 deaths. Rollover accidents are the biggest risk of separating tread. Rollovers can cause traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries.
Aging Tires: Tires that are too old or expired are one of the more common tire defects resulting in automobile accidents as well as injuries. All tires should be used only for a specific time frame because of the expiration dates. When a tire company stores older tires in warehouse then sells them to consumers several years later, it can lead to a blowout, which can cause wrecks and injuries.
Valve Stem Defects: Valve stem defects can trigger a blowout, which can cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death, so they are also dangerous. Defective valve stems can make tires explode during inflation, injuring or killing those nearby.
