What damages are available in a tire failure suit?

In North Carolina, damages available in a tire failure suit may include compensation for economic losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and repair bills, as well as non-economic losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other intangible losses. Economic losses are those that are measurable and have a concrete and definite dollar value. For example, if a tire failure caused an accident that resulted in medical bills, lost wages, or repair bills, the victim may be entitled to compensation for these costs. Non-economic losses are those that are difficult to quantify, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other intangible losses. These losses might include physical pain and psychological trauma associated with the accident, mental anguish, or humiliation suffered as a result of the tire failure. In North Carolina, tire failure lawsuits may be filed against tire manufacturers, tire suppliers, and other entities responsible for the quality, design, and/or manufacture of the tires. If an individuals’ tire suffered a failure due to a defect or malfunction, they may have a viable claim against the responsible party. It is important to consult an attorney to discuss the details of an individual’s case and determine what damages may be available to them.
