How will defective tire design be determined in a tire failure case?

In Arizona, defective tire design can be determined in a tire failure case if it is shown that the tire(s) was either designed improperly or that the design did not reflect the prevailing and accepted safety standards at the time of manufacture. In order for a court to find the tire defective in design, a plaintiff must establish that the tire failed to meet the performance standards set by the manufacturer, that the tire was improperly designed or manufactured, or that the tire was not constructed in accordance with applicable safety standards that prevailed at the time of manufacture. The determination of whether a tire was defectively designed takes careful study and analysis of the design or specifications of the tire. An expert witness may be necessary to compare the tire’s design with the prevailing standards. If it is found that the design or specifications of the tire failed to meet these standards, a tire failure case can be won on the basis of defective design. Additionally, the plaintiff must prove that the defective design of the tire was the primary cause of the tire failure and that the tire failure caused direct injury or death to the plaintiff. Without sufficient evidence, a court may find that the tire’s design did not cause the failure or that the failure did not cause any injury. Therefore, it is crucial to be able to prove that the defective design of the tire caused the failure and that the failure caused the plaintiff’s injury or death for a viable tire failure case in Arizona.
