Baltimore Tire Defects Attorney

Although tires may seem like a very simple part of the complex machine that is your car, your tires are actually a major component of your vehicle’s stability and control. Tires must be able to withstand your car’s weight as well as the friction from the road to help keep you driving safely. Should a tire fail, it can result in catastrophic accidents such as rollovers.

Tires must be sturdy and reliable because they are constantly in use, whether your car is moving or at a stop. If a tire is defective, it can give way when it is under pressure, such as when you are driving on the highway. Accidents at this high rate of speed are often devastating. If you or someone you love has suffered in an accident due to a flawed tire, you should fight back. Contact a Baltimore tire defects lawyer from Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC, today at 410-234-0100 to discuss your case.

Types of Tire Defects

A tire has many different layers of rubber, fabric plies, and steel wire that are meant to provide strength and endurance. However, if there is a problem with any one of these layers, it can weaken your tire and cause an imbalance or even a blowout. Some types of tire flaws include:

Cracks in the tread due to weak rubber
Separation between layers from defective glue
Tread cut due to foreign particles or moisture between plies
Burnt beads on tire edge from improperly covered steel wire

If your tire separates while you are traveling at a high rate of speed, it can lead to a blowout. As the rubber tread separates from the rim, the metal edge can bite into the asphalt and cause a rollover. Injuries from these types of accidents can be disastrous.
