What Do You Should Do After a Tire Blowout
Tire blowouts are unfortunately common; however, many people still do not know how to react they experience a blowout while driving. When a tire rapidly loses air pressure during a blowout, the vehicle can become unstable, with a high risk of flipping, swerving, or skidding. Losing control of your vehicle can be a frightening experience, but there are ways to avoid this after a blowout. By following a few simple guidelines, you can react properly to a blowout and decrease your risk of an accident or injury.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a car accident because of a blowout, you may be able to hold the tire company responsible. To take the first step in fighting for financial compensation, contact a Philadelphia personal injury lawyer of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today at 215-238-1130 and speak with one of our experienced and caring legal representatives.
Reacting to a Tire Blowout
If your tire suffers a blowout, follow these guidelines to decrease your risk of an accident:
- Stay calm and do not panic
- Avoid slamming on the brakes
- Ease your foot off the accelerator very slowly
- Steer your car off the road gently, avoiding any sudden turns
Frustratingly, many blowouts are the result of design or manufacturing defects with the tires. If your blowout is the result of a tire flaw, you can fight back against the tire designer or manufacturer at fault.
