Does the tire manufacturer share any liability in a tire failure lawsuit?

The short answer to this question is yes, the tire manufacturer may share some liability in a tire failure lawsuit. In Alaska, tire failure is governed by the Alaska Product Liability Act (APLA), which holds that product manufacturers can be held liable for product defects. In regard to tire failure, the APLA holds that when a product is defective and causes injury because of that defect, the manufacturer is liable for any resulting damages. This means that if a person is injured due to a tire failure, they may have a legal claim against the manufacturer of the tire. The manufacturer may be liable even if the tire was properly manufactured and maintained. Tire failure may be caused by a variety of factors including design defect, manufacturing defect, lack of warning labels, or negligence in design or production. In some cases, other parties involved in the production of the tire, like a tire retailer or third-party inspector, may also have some liability in the lawsuit. It is important to note that the burden of proof is on the injured party to demonstrate that the tire manufacturer is liable for the injury. In these cases, it is important to seek legal representation to ensure that the necessary evidence is gathered to prove the case. An experienced attorney will help determine what parties may have liability and what evidence is needed to demonstrate the liability.
