Tire and Automobile Defects Cause Accidents
San Antonio Auto Accident Injury Attorneys
Driving on San Antonio’s high speed interstates and highways can be a stressful
experience. Experiencing a flat tire or blowout while driving on these streets can
be harrowing. Keeping your vehicle in control while getting yourself out of danger
can be easier said than done. The fast moving traffic of IH-10, IH-35,US HWY 281
and Loop 410 can make navigating a blowout a traumatic experience. Oftentimes tire
blowouts end in a collision or rollover where several parties are injured or even
fatally wounded.
The publicity of the Bridgestone /Firestone fiasco several years ago made many people
aware of the dangers of defective tires. Tire tread can separate, or blow out causing
certain vehicles such as SUV’s to rollover or lose control causing serious accidents.
What many do not know is that several tire manufacturers are guilty of making these
same types of defective tires. San Antonio auto accident injury attorneys can help
you determine the fault of the manufacturer in tire defect cases. At Carabin and
Shaw PC, we look at several factors in tire defect cases, such as proper adhesion
techniques of the manufacturer, foreign objects in the tire, and the inclusion of
an extra nylon safety belt in the tire to help prevent tread separation. If you
or someone you love has been in an accident due to a blow out or tire defect you
need the help of skilled San Antonio auto accident injury attorneys. The attorneys
at Carabin & Shaw, PC are experienced in all aspects of tire defect and product
liability cases. Contact our offices today to discuss your situation.
Tires are not the only areas of product liability in motor vehicles. Manufacturers
are responsible for the safety performance of their vehicles even if they claim
they have taken the necessary steps to assure safety. With the guidance of skilled
San Antonio auto accident injury attorneys manufacturer liability can be determined
for your case. In product liability cases the claimant need not prove the carelessness
of the manufacturer rather only the faultiness of the product in question. Three
conditions must exist to prove the liability of the manufacturer for the accident:
- An unreasonably dangerous defect in the vehicle caused injury to you as a passenger
or driver.
- The defect caused injury to you while the vehicle was being used in a way that it
was intended to be used.
- The vehicle has not been substantially altered from its original condition when
sold.
San Antonio auto accident injury attorneys will look at these three areas in you
case to determine if you have the right to a motor vehicle defect claim. The attorneys
at Carabin & Shaw are experienced in tire defect and motor vehicle defect claims.
