Tire Tread Failure & Blowout
We've
all heard countless stories on the news about wrecks
caused by defective tires - and it isn't
just those from one manufacturer. Defective tires cause
wrecks daily and most of them could be far less serious
or avoided altogether if not for the defective tires.
In the early 2000's, Bridgestone
/ Firestone
and Ford
Motor Company recalled almost 15 million tires.
However, it is estimated that 6.5 million of those
tires are still in use!
Even if you've purchased tires within the past
year, it's possible that you purchased some of
the recalled tires. Not to mention the fact that other
defective tires make it into the market all the time.
Enlisting Heygood, Orr, Reyes, Pearson & Bartolomei
to handle a defective tire claim is beneficial because:
• We know the law, what victims legally deserve,
and what insurance companies and manufacturers are
required to provide.
• We can help victims complete and file all appropriate
paperwork, avoiding costly mistakes and explaining
everything in plain English.
• We will work with you throughout a trial, or
until a settlement is reached.
If you or someone you care about has been in a defective
tire accident, please fill out our Case Review Contact Form to the right
on this page to find out what your case is worth.
