The content focuses on determining liability when semi-truck tire blowouts cause accidents on Georgia roads, examining how these dangerous situations develop and who might be responsible.
When a truck tire bursts at highway speed, the driver may lose control instantly, and with tens of thousands of pounds behind them, it's nearly impossible to correct in time to avoid a crash, often resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.
Blowouts can result from underinflated tires, worn tread, overloading, poor repairs, manufacturing defects, or even hitting a pothole that pushes a worn tire past its limit.
Responsibility might fall on several parties including the driver, their employer, the mechanic, or even the tire manufacturer, as each plays a part in keeping the vehicle roadworthy.
Injuries often include spine and head trauma, crushed limbs, and broken bones, with some victims never fully recovering, and in the most heartbreaking cases, families lose loved ones.
If an injured driver is judged to share more than half the blame, their ability to recover damages may disappear, which insurance companies sometimes exploit by assigning more blame than is fair.
Collecting evidence like tire pieces, maintenance logs, or electronic control module data becomes critical early on to establish liability and counter insurance company tactics.
Prevention comes down to consistent inspections and accountability across every step of the trucking chain, including routine tire checks, honest reporting, and careful cargo loading.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has strict rules about maintenance, inspection, and recordkeeping for commercial trucks.
