Truck Tire Blowouts Are Deadly – Here’s How to Fight Back

One moment, you're driving peacefully. The next—BOOM! A truck tire explodes, sending debris and chaos into your path. Do you have time to swerve? Can you avoid disaster? With over 11,000 tire-related crashes reported annually by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these terrifying accidents happen more often than you think—leaving victims with severe injuries, mounting medical bills, and lives changed forever.

A truck tire blowout is sudden, violent, and often preventable. Whether it's due to poor maintenance, defective tires, or reckless driving, someone is responsible—and you shouldn't have to pay for their negligence.

At Horn Wright LLP, we fight for truck accident victims like you. Our personal injury lawyers hold trucking companies, manufacturers, and negligent drivers accountable, securing maximum compensation so you can focus on recovery.

Can You Sue After a Truck Tire Blowout in New York? Absolutely. Here’s How.

If a truck’s tire blew out and caused your crash, someone’s responsible. But trucking companies and their insurers will do everything to avoid paying you. They’ll make excuses. They’ll shift blame. They’ll hope you don’t know your rights.

But you’ve got us. And we don’t let them get away with it.

Here’s what we look for to prove your case:

• Negligence – Did the trucking company ignore worn-out tires? Did the driver fail to check for damage?
• Truck accident liability – Was it a defective tire? A maintenance failure? An overloaded truck? We dig deep to find the truth.
• Your damages – Medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering—you deserve every penny the law allows.

The Ugly Truth: Some Truck Tires Are Ticking Time Bombs

Some tires shouldn’t even be on the road. They’re defective. Weak. Prone to sudden failure. And the manufacturers? They know it—but they’ll keep selling them anyway.

Some of the most dangerous causes of commercial vehicle tire failure include:

• Tread separation – The tire literally falls apart while the truck is moving, sending it out of control.
• Sidewall failures – The tire’s structure gives out under pressure, causing a sudden and violent blowout.
• Cheap materials – Poor rubber quality, rushed production, and design flaws can all lead to deadly accidents.

If a bad tire caused your crash, we’ll hold the manufacturer accountable through defective tire litigation. The truck tire blowout you experienced may have been entirely preventable.

When Trucking Companies Cut Corners, You Pay the Price

Do truck companies always put safety first? Think again.

Some of them push their luck—ignoring basic tire safety to save a few bucks. And when they do? Innocent drivers like you end up paying the price.

Some of the worst examples of trucking company negligence we’ve seen include:

• Skipping inspections – Truckers are required to check their tires before every trip. Many don’t.
• Driving on bald tires – If the tread is gone, it’s only a matter of time before a blowout happens.
• Ignoring weight limits – Overloaded trucks put extreme stress on tires, making blowouts more likely.

They knew the risks—and they chose to gamble with your safety anyway. We don’t let them walk away from that.

Truck Drivers Are Responsible, Too – Here’s How They Mess Up

Not all truckers are reckless. But some? They ignore every warning sign until it’s too late. And when a blowout happens, their mistakes become your problem.

Here’s how bad driving habits can turn a tire issue into a deadly crash:

• Speeding – Fast speeds mean more heat. More heat increases the chance of a tire failing.
• Hard braking – Slamming the brakes can wear tires unevenly, making them more likely to pop.
• Ignoring warning lights – Modern trucks warn drivers when a tire is underinflated or overheating. Some truckers ignore those alerts.

If driver negligence played a role, we’ll prove it—and make them pay.

How Much Is Your Truck Tire Blowout Case Worth?

This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about getting your life back.

We fight for every dollar you deserve, including:

• Medical expenses – Doctor visits, ER bills, surgeries, rehab, prescriptions—past, present, and future.
• Lost wages – Missed work? Permanent injuries? We calculate every penny of your lost earning potential.
• Pain and suffering – You didn’t just lose money—you lost peace of mind. That counts.
• Property damage – Your car? Totaled. We make sure you get what it’s worth.
• Punitive damages – If the trucking company was shockingly reckless, they should pay more. And we’ll fight for that.

The Insurance Company Is Not Your Friend

The moment your accident happened, the insurance company had one goal—pay you as little as possible.

They’ll try to deny responsibility and claim it was "just an accident" or blame you for the crash. They’ll also lowball your settlement – They’ll offer way less than your case is actually worth—hoping you’ll take it. Plus, they’ll Use your words against you – Say the wrong thing, and they’ll twist it to make you look at fault.

We shut that down. We negotiate hard. And if they refuse to pay up? We take them to court.
