Some accidents come about from a failure on the part of drivers to properly maintain their vehicles. Sudden blowouts of tires are a clear example of this form of negligence.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury because of another vehicle’s tire blowout, you can seek compensation for your losses. An Irving tire blowout accident lawyer is here to help you pursue your case.
Seeking Compensation for All Your Medical Care
Victims of accidents that result from blown tires could seek reimbursement for the costs of necessary medical care. This could include emergency care, hospitalizations, and rehabilitative care.
We can take the necessary steps to:
- Determine the severity of your physical injuries
- Gather medical records from your medical providers
- Obtain all relevant medical bills
- Demand appropriate compensation from at-fault drivers and their insurance companies
The extent of your injuries and the costs of your medical expenses will often dictate how much you may be able to seek. However, only by demonstrating the extent of these losses is a person able to collect proper compensation. We can help you with every step of this process to help you seek the best possible results for your case.

Damages in Tire Blowout Cases Extend Beyond Medical Costs
While many peoples’ primary concern after suffering an injury is how they will pay for the necessary medical treatment, we also know that these incidents can have an impact on many other areas of a victim’s life.
It is not uncommon for individuals to suffer harm that stretches beyond the need for medical care. For example, many cases demand compensation for losses that occur because of:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Lost quality of life
- An inability to spend time with family
- Lost income
If you lost a loved one in an accident, we could help you seek compensation for these losses as well. You could seek a recovery for your loved one’s medical costs, funeral expenses, and more.
Working with an attorney from our team could help you to place a dollar value on these losses and to demand fair compensation in and out of court.
How Long do You Have to Pursue Your Case in Irving?
Every personal injury case in Irving is subject to the state’s statute of limitations. This is a law that determines the amount of time following an injury that a person has to demand compensation for their losses.
According to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003, this time limit is two years from the date of the accident. A person who fails to meet this time limit may find that a court refuses to hear the case. In other situations, insurance companies may decline to participate in settlement talks if the possibility of litigation is no longer on the table.
An Irving tire blowout accident lawyer from our team can help you to meet this essential deadline.

You Must Be Able to Demonstrate the Other Driver’s Lack of Maintenance
In most car accident cases, it is possible to build a case against another driver because of what they have done. For example, speeding, failing to stop at a red light, or being drunk behind the wheel are all clear examples of negligence.
However, accidents due to a blown-out tire can instead demand compensation through an argument of poor maintenance. This is an option when you can prove that the owner’s failure to properly maintain the vehicle contributed to the blowout.
For instance, if the vehicle was a commercial truck, a company may have kept detailed maintenance records. We can use these records as evidence of insufficient vehicle maintenance. Still, it may be possible to hold a private driver liable using a similar approach. We can take the lead in conducting these investigations and gathering evidence for your case.
What if the Other Driver Tries to Force You to Accept Partial Responsibility?
The other driver may claim that you share some or all of the blame for the incident. They may try to note that you were tailgating or not taking proper evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision.
Because of Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §33.003, a successful argument here can limit or entirely negate your claim for compensation. An Irving tire blowout accident lawyer from our team can work to prove that another driver was the sole responsible party for the incident.
