Defective Tires and Rollover Accidents
When a defective tire fails, there is often no warning. Any type of vehicle can rollover, but SUVs, 15-passenger vans, and RVs are more prone to rollover when a tire blows. Unfortunately the tires involved in some of the most massive recalls have been placed on these at-risk vehicles.
Many vehicle owners are not aware that they could be driving on tires that were recalled years ago. Recalled tires can still be found on shelves in some tire stores. Many vehicles which were taken in for replacement tires only received new tires on the four main wheels, but did not receive a replacement for the spare.
Rollover accidents cause some of the most serious injuries and are more likely to be fatal than other types of accidents and collisions. There are many reasons why these accidents are so deadly:
- Ejection and partial ejection are common in rollover, resulting in victims experiencing secondary impacts with the road, objects, and other vehicles, and sometimes even being crushed by the vehicle they were riding in.
- When a rollover is a single vehicle accident with no witnesses, victims may not be found for hours or days, meaning a delay in medical care for the initial injuries and the potential for additional injuries caused by exposure to the elements.
- Vehicles which are prone to rollover often have the added problem of poor roof crush resistance, leading to severe injuries including brain injury and spinal cord injury.
