Truck Tire Defects

Commercial truck accidents are a common occurrence that may be caused by a number of factors. Truck driver error or the negligent operation of a semi-truck are frequently involved, but it is occasionally the case that neither a trucking company nor its employees bear responsibility for a collision. This is a circumstance most typically associated with a mechanical defect caused by a failure on the part of the manufacturer of the vehicle or its parts. Tire defects are particularly problematic because they can cause a driver to suddenly lose control of his or her truck.

Potentially Recoverable Damages in Tire Defect Cases

There are two categories of tire defects. Design defects are present when every tire produced according to the specifications is affected by the same issue. Manufacturing defects are flaws in the actual production of tires that may strike an entire run of a specific kind of tire or only some of the individual tires that are made. Any truck tire defect may cause a serious accident, and you may be able to recover the following damages:

• Medical Expenses
• Automobile Repairs
• Lost Wages
• Pain and Suffering
