Possible at-Fault Parties in a Florida Truck Tire Blowout Accident

A truck tire blowout usually causes the driver to lose control of their vehicle. Tires can explode for a variety of reasons, but very often, a blowout is due to negligence. There can be multiple defendants in a truck tire blowout case—all potentially liable for the accident and your injuries. These include:

  • The truck driver. The truck driver could be held liable for the accident if it can be proven that they were driving in a negligent manner. For example, a trucker should always attempt to avoid potholes because these can lead to tire blowouts. If the trucker wasn’t paying attention, didn’t see a pothole, or was speeding when they hit a pothole, they could be found negligent in the blowout accident.
  • The trucking company. Liability for a truck tire blowout may fall on the trucking company because they are responsible for ensuring that all vehicles are properly maintained and inspected regularly according to federal regulations. If the trucking company has not followed through with proper maintenance on their vehicles, they may be liable for any damages caused by an accident due to their negligence. Additionally, if they have violated any safety regulations while transporting goods, such as exceeding weight limits or failing to secure cargo properly, this could also lead to liability claims against them.
  • The tire manufacturer. If there is evidence to suggest an issue with the tires themselves—such as faulty materials or design defects—it is possible that the tire manufacturer could also be held liable for any damages caused by an accident involving a tire blowout.
