Some of the actions to consider immediately after an accident related to defective tires include:

  1. Collect and preserve physical evidence of the car accident – Your attorney must be able to prove what caused your accident. If you are able, photograph the scene of the accident and your vehicle. If this is not possible (for instance, your injuries were too severe) be certain that your vehicle, tires, accident debris and components are not destroyed.
  2. Obtain a copy of the police report – The police report will provide important information about the accident scene and what likely caused the crash. This may include details about where the vehicles came to rest, whether there were any tire marks on the road and other relevant factors. Your lawyer can help you obtain this information if your injuries prevent you from doing so easily.
  3. Collect witness statements – Ideally, you were able to collect the names and contact information of any witnesses at the scene of the accident. If your injuries prevented this at the time, your lawyer may help you secure this valuable information.
  4. Hire personal injury lawyers who understand defective tire claims – Product liability claims are among the most complicated types of injury claims. Our attorneys have the experience and understanding to handle these types of claims specifically and prove the manufacturer’s liability.
