Texas Truck Accidents Caused By Tire Blowouts – Wrecks that Could Be Avoided


Before truckers start on a trip or even set foot in the driver's seat, they must perform a pre-trip inspection as required by the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR § 392.9. This inspection is intended to check for equipment failure or problems and is done for the safety of the 18-wheeler driver, as well as others on the road. During the pre-trip inspection, drivers are supposed to check that the brakes, the steering mechanism, lights and reflectors and tires are in proper working order.

Truck Tire BlowoutsExamination of the tractor trailers tires is one the most important parts of the pre-trip inspection. Thoroughly checking the semi-trucks tires can easily prevent tire blowouts and other accidents, however, many truckers simply ignore the pre-trip inspection - even though it's required. Tires must be in good condition in order to protect everyone on the road and when a trucker fails to conduct an inspection, or blatantly ignores tires that are worn or defective, he is putting himself and the drivers around him at risk. Preventable tire blowouts are one of the leading causes of truck accidents and 18-wheeler drivers must be held accountable for any accident injuries that occur due to their negligence.
