Who's at fault when there is a tire defect?

If a defective or faulty tire causes a vehicle to go out of control and impact another vehicle run off the road, roll over, the manufacturer of the tires can be held responsible if it is shown that the tire was defective and it created a risk of serious personal injury or death.

Are accidents from tire defects still common?

Tire defects are still a problem on roads in the United States today. They're hard to prevent against because tread separation just happens sometimes spontaneously. And no inspection of the tire by a lay person would really reveal that there's a risk of something happening. Once the tire fails, the vehicle is susceptible to going off the road, rolling over and causing serious, catastrophic injury to occupants or bystanders. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

What are some common auto defects?

The most common types of auto defects that you see on the highways are rollover cases. There's a lot of SUVs on the highways today, SUVs roll over easier than passenger cars although they don't necessarily have to, but you're going to see a lot of rollover cases. You're going to see a lot of tire tread seperation cases, where the tread comes off the tire, then causing a rollover accident. You'll see airbag cases, where airbags failed to deploy or deploy untimely, just because it deployes, it's got to deploy just right or you can be injured from your airbag. There are defective seatbelt buckles on the highway, you could feel like you or your family member is safely buckled up, get in a rollover accident, get ejected from the vehicle and seriously injured or killed. People will assume you were not wearing your seatbelt, but you were. Seatbelt buckles are known to come undone at times as well. Hi, my name's Brian Chase.
