How do I know if I have a valid tire failure claim?

In order to determine if you have a valid tire failure claim in South Carolina, you must understand the Tire Failure Law. The Tire Failure Law states that any person who claims that a tire failure caused their injury or property damage must prove the following three elements: (1) the tire was defective; (2) the defect caused the injury or property damage; and (3) the defect was present before the tire was sold to the consumer. To prove that the tire was defective, you must provide evidence—like expert testimony, consumer complaints, or lab reports—to demonstrate that the tire posed a risk of failure before it was sold to you. To prove that this defect caused your injury or property damage, you must provide evidence—like the condition of the tire after the failure, witness testimony, and/or surveillance video—to demonstrate that the defect contributed in some way to the injury or damage. To prove that the defect was present before the tire was sold to you, you must provide evidence—like product inspections or photographs of the tire prior to sale—to demonstrate that the tire was already defective when it was sold. Finally, you may be required to have your claim investigated by a qualified tire engineer to determine if the tire was defective and caused your injury or property damage. If your claim is determined to be valid, you may be entitled to seek compensation for your losses. To ensure that your claim is valid, it is important to consult with a qualified attorney who can help you present a strong case and obtain the full amount of compensation you are owed.
