Coral Springs Tire Blowout Lawyer
When considering the most important components of controlling a vehicle, many people would likely think of the steering system and brakes. Although the steering and braking systems do play major roles, the tires are another important factor in giving a vehicle stability and control. Good tires allow you to direct your vehicle smoothly and carefully, while any tire defects can lead to devastating accidents such as rollovers.
Problems with tire tread can cause dangerous weak spots in the rubber. This can result in blowouts, or the sudden and complete loss of air pressure. Blowouts can lead to a loss of vehicle control. If you or someone you love has been injured in a tire blowout accident, you may be able to fight back against those responsible for this harmful auto defect. To discuss your case, contact a Coral Springs tire blowout attorney from the Law Offices of Eric G. Canter, P.A., today at 866-529-0022.
Causes of Tire Defects
Tires are made of several different layers of rubber and metal in order to give them the strength to withstand both the air pressure inside and the weight of the car on top. If any of these layers has a weak spot, it can lead to a blowout. Common causes of tire defects include:
- Unsafe layering design
- Contaminants in the adhesive between the layers
- Old adhesives that have lost their strength
- Rusty or oxidized metal components
- Moisture between the layers
Blowouts have a high risk of causing rollover accidents because the blown-out tire can expose the metal tire rim. The edge of the rim can bite into the asphalt, causing the car to flip.
