Every day millions of cars travel American highways. Unknown to those drivers and their passengers, many of these cars come equipped with defective tires that can blowout at any moment. Unforeseen tire blowouts can lead to serious multi-vehicle accidents, resulting in devastating injuries and even death.
In fact, tire blowouts cause an estimated 400 deaths and over 70,000 accidents in the United States each year.
Millions of tires have been recalled in recent years from major tire manufacturers, including Firestone, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Dunlop, Michelin, and even some overseas manufacturers. A major problem is that the recall notifications are sent out only after there have been a number of reported accidents with certain tires.
Lawsuits against the tire manufacturers are filed when the necessary recall isn’t administered to vehicles equipped with the defective tires or when tire manufacturers delay the recall even when there is evidence of their tires being defective.

These accidents can cause the drivers involved thousands of dollars in medical bills and vehicle repairs—not to mention grievous injuries and even death.
These physical and financial damages could be avoided if the tire manufacturers issued a timely recall of their defective tires.
