Am I Eligible to Pursue Legal Compensation?

It is important to seek legal guidance from an attorney to understand if you have a viable case and are eligible to seek compensation. We need to closely evaluate your situation and possibly consult with tire industry experts to understand what exactly caused the accident.

One of two legal theories in a product liability action may apply to your potential case:

Strict Liability

This legal theory helps hold product manufacturers, designers and seller liable for damages as a result of a defective product if certain criteria is met. While negligence does not have to be proven, we are prepared to help you establish the following:

  • The tire had an unreasonably dangerous defect that harmed you
  • The tire was used in the way it was intended when you were harmed
  • The tire was not substantially changed from its original condition after purchase
  • The claim is being made against the party whose business it is to sell tires regularly

Negligence

Under this legal theory, the accident and your injuries had to have been caused by another person’s negligence. His or her actions are not deemed negligent until four elements can be proven. These elements include:

  • Duty of care ”“ This element establishes that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care to act reasonably. Generally, each individual has a legal obligation to behave in a manner that would prevent harm to others. For example, a tire manufacturer has a legal duty to construct a safe product.
  • Breach of duty of care ”“ We must then establish that the responsible party failed to uphold his or her legal duty by acting or failing to act in a way that a reasonable person would have done in a similar situation.
  • Causation ”“ This elements establishes that there is a direct link between your injury and the negligent party’s breach of duty of care. For example, if the company had not sold an old and defective tire, you would not have been harmed in an accident.
  • Damages ”“ In the last element, we must show that you suffered damages due to your injury. Generally, this may be out-of-pocket expenses such as medical bills.
