Drivers injured or killed in auto accidents caused by certain Firestone tires are part of what is perhaps the deadliest auto safety crisis in American history.
The tires are defective because of the tendency of the tread on some of them to separate from their casings. Hundreds of deaths have been reported.
In lawsuits, it was argued that a $1 piece of nylon could have eliminated tread separation and saved lives.
As the Firestone tire example shows, a blowout because of defective tires can have deadly consequences on the road, especially if the car is traveling at high speed. It's common for tire blowouts to occur as a result of tread separation.
A blowout can cause the driver to control and collide with another vehicle on the road, leading to severe injury or even a potential wrongful death lawsuit.
