Even Proper Tire Maintenance Can't Prevent Defective Tires
Checking your tire pressure, filling your tires with air, rotating your tires, and aligning and balancing them regularly are all important—but these steps do not guarantee your safety if the tires themselves are defective.
Many auto and tire manufacturers are reluctant to admit that tire de-treading, delamination, and blowouts occur frequently. When your tire blows out, you and your loved ones are in serious danger.
If you’ve been in a car accident caused by tire failure or malfunction, contact Victory Law Group immediately at (213) 422-5061. We’re here to fight for you and help you pursue maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.

Tire Manufacturers Prioritize Profits Over Safety
To increase profits, many tire manufacturers claim their tires can last up to 10 years. However, safety experts recommend replacing tires every 6 years to prevent tire failure and malfunction.
Companies should not prioritize profit over consumer safety. When tire manufacturers are negligent—by producing defective tires or providing misleading information about their products—they put the lives of their consumers at risk.
While some car accidents caused by tire malfunctions are minor, tire failures can also cause catastrophic or even fatal injuries—especially when they occur at high speeds.
When a tire fails while driving on the highway or freeway, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, resulting in:
- Rollovers
- High-speed collisions
- Multi-vehicle accidents
- Serious injuries or death
Tire manufacturers can be held liable when they:
- Fail to produce durable, safe tires
- Provide dishonest or misleading information about tire performance and lifespan
- Fail to warn consumers about known defects or risks
- Sell tires that do not meet safety standards
If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by a tire failure, you may have a product liability claim against the tire manufacturer.

Common Causes of Tire Malfunctions
Tire malfunctions can be caused by several types of defects, including:
- Poor craftsmanship
- Defective manufacturing processes
- Faulty or unsafe tire design
- Tread separation
- Tire shredding or blowouts
- De-treading (loss of the tire tread)
- Adhesion failures between tire components
Although tire performance regulations are strict, tire malfunctions occur frequently. Over the past several years, major tire manufacturers including Firestone, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin, and others have issued tire recalls.
Unfortunately, many of these recalls came only after serious injuries and fatalities had already occurred. By the time defective tires are recalled, countless consumers have already been put at risk—and some have already been harmed.
If you’ve been injured in an accident caused by a tire malfunction, you may have a product liability claim against the tire manufacturer—even if the tire has since been recalled.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
The firm offers a free initial consultation. Before hiring the firm, ask for the proposed written agreement explaining attorney fees and case costs, including how they are calculated, when they are owed and what happens if there is no recovery.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
Many California personal injury lawsuits have a two-year limitation period, but the deadline depends on the claim and circumstances. Claims involving government agencies can require an earlier administrative claim. Exceptions and other time limits may apply.
Ask an attorney promptly about the exact deadlines for your situation. Requesting a consultation does not extend a deadline. See the California Courts guide to filing deadlines and its government-claim guide for general information.
How is the value of my case determined?
A website cannot determine what an individual case is worth. An attorney may review responsibility for the incident, available evidence, medical expenses, lost income, the effect of an injury and available insurance or other sources of recovery.
Bring records you already have and ask what additional information would help the review. Any evaluation depends on the facts; a consultation is not a promise of compensation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Responsibility for an accident can be disputed and can affect a claim and any compensation. Tell the attorney what happened, including facts that may suggest you or another person contributed to the incident.
An attorney can review the evidence and explain how California fault rules may apply. Do not assume that a percentage of fault or a particular recovery can be determined before that review.
How long does a personal injury case take?
There is no single timetable. Treatment, evidence gathering, disputed facts, insurance discussions and any court proceedings can affect how long a matter takes.
Ask the attorney about the likely next steps, what information is still needed and how the team would communicate updates. An initial estimate is not a guaranteed completion date.
Do I have to go to court?
Some injury matters resolve through discussions or settlement; others require a lawsuit and may proceed to trial. The appropriate approach depends on the facts, deadlines and the parties’ positions.
Ask the attorney what steps may be needed, what your participation would involve and how settlement and litigation decisions would be discussed with you.
