Injuries Suffered in Tire Blowout Accidents

A tire blowout will make it extremely difficult for the truck driver to maintain control of their vehicle. They may notice the tire burst and slam the brakes, which can actually worsen the situation due to the sudden shift in momentum. On the other hand, the trucker might not notice one of their vehicle’s many tires has blown out and keep driving, risking a crash whenever they apply the brakes, accelerate, or turn.

A truck accident caused by a tire blowout may cause the following injuries to others:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Permanent disfigurement

In many cases, responsibility in a tire blowout truck accident is not straightforward or easy to determine.
