What type of compensation can I receive for a tire failure lawsuit?

In Washington, individuals may be eligible to receive compensation if they have suffered physical injury and/or property damage as a result of a tire failure lawsuit. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the lawsuit, compensation may include payment for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and/or property damage. Additionally, punitive damages may also be awarded, with the intent of punishing a defendant and deterring future negligent behavior. In Washington, in order to qualify for compensation due to a tire failure lawsuit, plaintiffs must prove that the defendant acted negligently in their manufacturing, design, or maintenance of the tire, resulting in the tire failure. Additionally, it must be proven that harm was caused by this negligence. In certain circumstances, a “strict liability” can be applied, meaning that the plaintiff does not need to prove negligence and can collect damages even if the defendant acted with reasonable care. It is important to keep in mind that the amount of compensation received in a tire failure lawsuit is dependent upon the circumstances of the case, and the extent of the harm suffered. As such, the best course of action for anyone considering a tire failure lawsuit is to consult a qualified attorney, who can help determine the validity of the claim and the amount of compensation that may be recovered.
