Firestone Defective Tires

New York State

It seems like almost every month in the news we hear about some automobile or truck or SUV being recalled due to defective brakes, faulty steering, or defective tires. Defective tires, historically, have lead to some of the deadliest accidents on our nation’s roadways. There is nothing more terrifying than to be driving along thinking you are in a perfectly safe vehicle, then, without warning, having a tire blowout and losing control.

In these types of accidents, not only are you and your passengers at risk, but the other drivers on the road are as well. Losing control of your vehicle can result in multiple car pileups and multiple injuries or fatalities. There is nothing worse than the feeling that you are somehow responsible for the injuries or deaths of other innocent people.

Because of the frequency of producing defective tires, the brand names Firestone and Bridgestone have become virtually synonymous with tire defects. For decades now, the Ford Motor Co. and Firestone/Bridgestone have continually pointed the finger at each other in terms of product liability cases, and in these product liability cases it can take years for courts and attorneys to figure out who is truly responsible.

Because of the size of these companies, and the large number of highly trained lawyers in their employ, it is absolutely crucial that any person hurt or killed due to a defective tire made by Firestone/Bridgestone also have a highly skilled and experienced defective tire attorney on their side.
