How Common Are Truck Tire Blowouts?
According to data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, an average of 170,737 commercial vehicle crashes occurred throughout the United States every year between 2018 and 2022.
These accidents are caused by several factors, from driving under the influence to driver inattention.
Of the 164,000 accidents deemed serious in 2022, approximately 6% of them were caused by a tire blowout.
Tire blowouts can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Overloaded cargo
Underinflation or overinflation
Normal wear and tear on the tires
Excessive wear on the tires
Improperly sized tires for the truck
Debris or potholes that damage tires
What Are the Potential Impacts of a Truck Blowout Accident?
A truck blowout accident can unleash a cascade of devastating impacts, affecting nearly every aspect of a victim’s life.
Physically, people involved in these accidents may sustain injuries ranging from minor bruises and cuts to severe, life-altering conditions like traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, or even fatalities.
Emotionally, the trauma from witnessing or being part of such a harrowing event can lead to long-term psychological issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression.
The aftermath of these accidents can bring significant financial expenses; medical bills can accumulate rapidly, and victims may face lost wages due to time away from work, not to mention the potential costs for rehabilitation or long-term care.
