CHRISTINE SPAGNOLI: Tire failures are common, but there is a misunderstanding about the types of failures that can be pursued in court.

CHRISTINE SPAGNOLI: One of the most common types of tire failures is a tread separation. And that can often be the result of a defect in the tire.

CHRISTINE SPAGNOLI: What happens in a tread separation is that the layers of the tire come apart and the top tread comes off and that can often lead to a loss of control and a crash.

When someone has been in an accident, typically these kinds of cases result in catastrophic injuries and usually people are very focused on helping their family members. But the evidence at the scene can disappear very quickly. It's very important to get a lawyer there early, gather evidence at the scene, pick up pieces of the tire.

CHRISTINE SPAGNOLI: Document tire marks in the road or other evidence of how the accident occurred so that the experts later on have the critical evidence available to prove your case. You need lawyers who have the resources to devote to the cases and understand how difficult they are and how much work goes into them.
