Rollover Accidents Caused by Tire Blowouts



Rollover accidents are particularly common in accidents involving SUVs as the larger model cars often have a high center of gravity. As a Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury and wrongful death lawyer, I know that SUV rollover wrecks are responsible for more fatalities in Texas than any other kind of auto crash. Although rollover accidents are far less common than other accident scenarios, each year they account for more traffic fatalities than both side and rear-impact collisions combined. One of the most frequently causes of deadly rollover wrecks are tire blowout accidents. One of the reasons these single vehicle crashes are so deadly is that occupants could be crushed or suffer other serious bodily injuries when the vehicle flips upside-down. Passenger ejections are also extremely common in SUV rollover accidents.




If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto rollover wreck, it is important that you consult with an experienced DFW area trial attorney. Even if the crash didn’t involve any additional vehicles, if the cause of the wreck was a defective tire or other equipment malfunction, you may be entitled to seek compensation.

Back in 2000, Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. was forced to issue a recall for millions of defective tires after it was discovered that the tire tread was separating and causing SUV vehicles to lose control and ultimately rollover. While this is perhaps the most recent and well-known problem with tire safety issues, many US tire manufacturing companies have also experienced problems where their tires were deemed defective and responsible for auto accidents occurring. These manufacturers include Dunlop, Goodyear, Continental General, Cooper, Kelly and Kumho.

Since a fatal rollover accident caused by a defective tire might typically involve a claim against the vehicle manufacture, tire maker and distributor, and tire and lube shop which installed the tire, it is important that you have an experienced Fort Worth auto accident lawyer on your side to ensure that all avenues of investigation are considered, to make sure that you receive the full and fair compensation you are entitled to under Texas law.
