The Different Types of Defective Tire Accidents in Florida

There are many problems that pose a considerable risk to everyone who drives on South Florida roads. However, defective tires, especially in top-heavy SUVs, may be among the most dangerous. Defective tire accidents account for over 10,000 injuries and 400 deaths each year.

Like Florida car accidents in general, there are also many different types of defective tire accidents. Defective tires can be the result of:
• design failures
• manufacturing errors
• poor quality control
• weak materials
• adhesive failures

When these defective tires are put on a car, and fail while driving, the results can be catastrophic. Defective tires can lead to many different types of Florida car accidents including:
• SUV rollovers
• Cars spinning or sliding off the road
• Side-impact or rear-end collisions
• Head-on crashes

When defective tires lead to any of these different types of wrecks, serious injuries and even loss of life can occur. When someone is injured as a result of defective tires – the result of someone else's negligence – they are entitled to receive compensation for their injuries or loss.

However, the insurance companies representing tire and car manufacturers usually do not see things this clearly. They will fight you tooth-and-nail to pay out as little as possible—that is, unless you have an Orlando car accident attorney who is up for the same fight.
