How to Handle a Tire Blowout and Defective Tires in Waterbury -video-

It’s every driver’s worst nightmare: traveling along the highway and suddenly suffering a catastrophic tire blowout. Images of car the violently swerving and winding up in oncoming traffic or in a ditch come to mind when thinking about the scenario. But, despite these possibilities, is also possible to react to a blowout in a levelheaded manner, and give yourself the best chance of walking away without injury. The following video gives you tips about what to do in the case of a tire blowout.

One important fact to remember is that, especially with respect to newer tires, tires should not simply blow out. There is currently a significant amount of investigation surrounding the tire industry, with experts saying that up to four million of the five million tires which have been recalled since the year 2000 are still on the nation’s roads. Additionally, as can be seen in the following video, though a tire may be very little used, its age may play a role in its reliability.

If you suffer a tire blowout be sure to keep the tire and check it against national recall registries. If you or someone you know have an injured as a result of a tire blowout call the Law Offices of Hastings, Cohan & Walsh, LLP –  89 Oak Street Hartford, CT 06106-1515 –  (888) 244-5480
