When you purchase a tire, you expect that it is in good condition and safe to use on the road. However when a defective tire is sold to you, you may experience a tire blowout, which can cause you to lose control of your car and result in injury or property damage.
If you were involved in an accident you think was caused by a defective tire, you may be eligible to pursue financial compensation for any damages suffered.

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.

Is There a Deadline to Take Legal Action?
If you have suffered an injury caused by a defective tire and want to seek legal action, it is important that you act quickly so you do not have your potential case thrown out of court.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
