At Ashby Thelen Lowry, our Atlanta personal injury attorneys represent individuals and families affected by collisions caused by tire defects or worn tires on commercial trucks throughout Georgia. Tire issues may go unnoticed until they cause a blowout, sudden loss of control, or debris on the roadway.
Victims of these incidents often experience life-altering injuries and face overwhelming expenses. Our team is dedicated to identifying negligence caused by manufacturers, maintenance crews, or trucking companies, and pursuing justice for those harmed, starting with a free consultation.
The safe use of commercial trucks relies on proper tire maintenance and high manufacturing standards. However, defective tires or worn tread can fail suddenly at highway speeds, causing drivers to lose control or spill debris into other lanes. Experts estimate that tire-related failures contribute to hundreds of fatal or injury-causing collisions annually in the U.S. In Georgia, where heavy commercial traffic is common, defective tires are a frequent source of serious collisions that impact families, businesses, and communities.
Multiple parties may be responsible when tire defects or bald tires lead to collisions. Understanding where negligence occurred is essential to holding the right party accountable and ensuring victims secure fair compensation.
Major types of negligence include:
Our attorneys meticulously trace the source of failure. That may require examining company maintenance logs, tire serial numbers, and design records to determine whose carelessness caused the collision.
Truck collisions caused by tire malfunctions often result in high-speed spinouts, rollovers, sudden braking, or loss of vehicle control. These crashes may involve secondary collisions as drivers attempt to avoid debris or unstable trucks. The victims of such events often require extensive medical intervention and long-term care.
Common injuries caused by tire-related truck crashes in Georgia include:
These injuries threaten independence and quality of life. We help ensure victims access care and support on their path to recovery.
Claims stemming from tire malfunctions or bald tires necessitate a thorough and timely investigation. Multiple parties may be held responsible, including manufacturers, repair shops, or trucking firms.
Our legal process includes:
Georgia law allows victims to recover compensation as long as their level of responsibility remains below 50%. Our approach ensures that faults are accurately identified and minimized.
Individuals harmed by tire-related truck collisions may be entitled to compensation for all their harm. Georgia courts consider both tangible and intangible losses when assigning damages.
Recoverable damages may include:
We collaborate with medical specialists, financial analysts, and life care planners to assess comprehensive needs and develop compelling cases that reflect real-world impact.

Our attorneys combine expertise in product liability, trucking regulations, and crash reconstruction, giving clients a strategic advantage.
We stand by our clients throughout every stage, from investigation to negotiation and trial, ensuring they receive the professional representation and personal support they deserve.
