Louisville Truck Tire Defect Lawyers
Eighteen-wheelers, or commercial trucks, rely on their tires and their proper functioning substantially. Unlike normal vehicles with four wheels, these trucks have 18 wheels to fully support the size and weight of their cargo load. And, although some of the tires are side by side to protect the vehicle in the event of a blowout, the 18-wheeler driver could still be at risk of losing control of his or her vehicle if one of the tires blows because of a design or manufacturing defect.
Tire defects not only put the 18-wheeler driver’s life in jeopardy, but also the lives of other motorists on the road. If you or someone you know has been injured in a truck accident caused by a tire defect, you may be eligible for financial compensation. Discuss your options for pursuing compensation and justice by contacting a Louisville truck tire defect lawyer at the Sampson Law Firm at 502-584-5050 and schedule a free consultation.
Common Truck Tire Defects
Controlling an 80,000 pound 18-wheeler after a tire blowout can be an impossible task, causing innocent drivers to have their lives and well-being endangered. Some common tire defects include the following:
- Blowouts
- Tread that separates
- Tire explosions
- Rim explosions
You shouldn’t suffer financially in addition to any physical or emotional damage because of someone else’s negligent actions. You may deserve financial compensation that can help cover medical bills and other expenses.
