While underinflated tires, one of the primary causes of blowouts, have become less common since tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) were introduced as semi-standard additions by the auto manufacturing industry, millions of cars lack this warning system, leaving countless drivers unaware of and susceptible to this potential hazard.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do underinflated tires increase the risk of a blowout, they decrease the tire\u2019s grip, increase the distance needed to come to a complete stop, and decrease the overall handling of the car. While it\u2019s the responsibility of the driver to make sure their tires are safe to take on the road, either the manufacturer or retailer may also be responsible \u2013 and legally required \u2013 for providing accurate information about their products. If they\u00a0<a href=\"\/product-liability\/failure-to-warn\/\">fail to warn consumers<\/a>\u00a0about potential hazards, they could be held liable for their role in causing a tire blowout.<\/p>\n<h2>Hire An Experienced Lawyer Today<\/h2>\n<p>If you were involved in a\u00a0<a href=\"\/car-accident\/\">car crash<\/a> caused by tire failure and suffered a serious injury, contact the Chicago tire blowout accident lawyers at <span class=\"nap-item nap-item--name\">Power Rogers<\/span> to discuss your case.
