Tire Defect Lawyer

Fighting for Victims of Dangerous Tire Failures

Defective tires are among the most dangerous automotive failures. A sudden blowout, tread separation, or even a tire fire can cause a driver to lose complete control of the vehicle, leading to high-speed rollovers, multi-vehicle collisions, and catastrophic injuries. When tire manufacturers cut corners in design, production, or testing, the results are devastating.


At McCartney Stucky, we represent clients nationwide. If you’re searching for a tire defect lawyer, our attorneys have decades of experience in crashworthiness and product liability litigation, securing maximum compensation for clients in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.
