Motorcycle Tire Defects
For a variety of reasons, there is a large disparity between the coverage that automobile tire defects receive in the media and the attention paid to motorcycle tire defects. One of the reasons is that so many more automobiles are on the road, so the threat is perceived to be greater when car tires are found to be faulty.
Furthermore, people have become somewhat desensitized to motorcycle accidents because they stereotype motorcyclists as people who ride recklessly. Unfortunately, when a motorcycle tire defect is identified as the cause of an accident, nobody is quick to sound the alarm.
But Iowa motorcycle tire defects lawyer Pete Leehey will stand up and fight a negligent tire manufacturer for you. Pete offers the experienced and committed legal representation you deserve if you have been injured in an accident caused by a defective motorcycle tire. Contact him at 877-209-9452.
Why Defective Tires can Spell Disaster
Unlike automobiles, motorcycles run on only 2 tires. This means that when one tire develops a problem, the balance and maneuverability of the bike are dramatically compromised, whereas on a car the remaining three tires typically allow a driver to bring the vehicle safely to a stop. Because the sudden reduction of control is so prone to causing a motorcyclist to crash, the potential for severe injury is significantly elevated. Some potential tire failures include:
- Tire deflation
- Separation of tread
- Bursting
- Ejection from the wheel
