Two common tire issues that result in truck and tractor trailer crashes in Miami Lakes and Florida include tire blowouts and bald tires. Both of these issues can be prevented with due care. Bald tires occur when the treads on the tire wear down, often due to inadequate maintenance and lack of proper inspection. When tires get worn down, a truck driver can lose control of their vehicle, especially in wet conditions. Bald tires can also lead to tire blowouts, where a tire bursts under pressure or deflates very rapidly. Both situations can cause serious traffic collisions that can result in a legal claim if you have been injured.
