Tire Accident Causes and Liability

Financial responsibility for your collision will rest with the party liable for the tire problem that caused your crash. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, our tire accident attorneys in Miami, FL, can seek compensation from the following parties:

• Another driver. Drivers have a duty of care to operate their vehicles safely and take precautions to protect others on the road. This legal obligation includes ensuring automobiles are appropriately maintained and equipped with safe tires. If the driver who caused your accident neglected tire maintenance and a tire failure led to your collision, they may be financially liable. 
• A truck driver or trucking company. Truck tire blowouts can present a serious hazard to those traveling alongside commercial motor vehicles. If truck tire failure led to your injuries, liable parties may include the truck driver, the trucking company, or the entity that owns or maintains the truck.
• A mechanic. Mechanics and garages can make mistakes when repairing or installing tires. These errors may include improper tire installation, over or under-inflation, failed tire patches, or outfitting a vehicle with the wrong wheels. 
• A tire manufacturer. The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association reports dozens of tire recalls from 2018 to 2023. Affected manufacturers include leading makers such as Bridgestone, Goodyear, and Yokohama. You may have a product liability claim if a design, manufacturing, or marketing defect caused your tire accident. We can tell you more and help you build a case proving the existence of a product flaw. 

How Long Do You Have to Pursue a Tire Accident Lawsuit in Florida?

The statute of limitations for personal injury or wrongful death is two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11. The court will likely refuse your case if you do not file your lawsuit within this deadline. Therefore, getting started on your claim as soon as possible following your tire accident is a good idea. 

As soon as you contact our team, our law firm can get to work on investigating your collision and building a solid case. We will handle every detail, from drafting paperwork to communicating with involved parties, so you can focus on your health and recovery. Our goal is to secure the maximum compensation possible for you and your family.
