Los Angeles Poor Truck Maintenance Accident Attorney

Tires 

Many truck accidents are caused by tire problems resulting from poor truck maintenance. 

Some tire-related problems that can cause accidents include:

• Using old or worn tires – Commercial trucks travel thousands of miles every year. This means that their tires must be changed out much more often than tires on passenger vehicles. Old or worn tires can lead to tread separation and the decreased ability to brake correctly. 
• Failure to maintain tires – Trucking companies must routinely inspect and maintain tires. Without taking precautions, tires can blow out during transit and result in loss of control of the vehicle. When these tires are installed on large commercial trucks, blowouts can cause catastrophic crashes. 
• Defective tires – Some tires are defective because of poor design or a mistake made during the manufacturing process. Sadly, these problems may not be discovered until fatal accidents involving these defective tires occur. 
• Tire use errors – Trucking companies may make mistakes related to the use of tires that can contribute to accidents, such as mounting mismatched tire sizes, mixing bias and radial tires on the same axle, and using tires that do not meet minimum tread depths. 

Whether the tire wasn’t adequately maintained or was defective, our Los Angeles truck accident attorneys are here to help.
