FAQ

Who can be liable for a wheel-off or detached tire incident involving a truck?

Wheel-off accidents—where a tire detaches from a moving vehicle—are some of the most dangerous cases we handle. And they’re rarely “just an accident.”

Liability may fall on multiple parties, including:

  • The trucking company responsible for maintenance
  • A repair or service shop that improperly installed or inspected the wheel
  • The driver, if they failed to perform required safety checks
  • A manufacturer, if defective parts were involved

Our firm has experience pursuing these complex claims—even in situations where liability isn’t immediately clear. As noted in our case history discussions, we’re not afraid to take on challenging cases with serious injuries and pursue meaningful results.
