Defective Tire Rim Lawsuit

Product Liability Claims Involving Defective Tire Rims and Wheel Components

A tire or wheel assembly failure can cause catastrophic injuries in an instant. Whether the failure occurs while mounting a tire, operating heavy equipment, or driving on the road, a defective rim or wheel component can create dangerous conditions that place workers, drivers, and bystanders at serious risk. When a manufacturing or design defect contributes to an injury, the manufacturer may be held responsible through a product liability claim.

We represented a client who suffered serious injuries caused by a defective tire rim. After presenting the case at trial, we obtained a $1,825,000 jury verdict against Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company for our client.

Product liability cases involving defective rims and wheel components often require engineering experts, product testing, and a detailed investigation into the design and manufacturing of the product. These claims can be significantly more complex than a typical personal injury case because they focus on whether the product itself was unreasonably dangerous when it left the manufacturer’s control.
