What does a defective tire case involve?
In order to be successful in a claim against a tire manufacturer, you must be able to prove certain elements. This includes showing that there was in fact a defect with the tire and that the manufacturer should have been aware of the defect. This can be difficult to prove without the proper evidence and expert witnesses who can provide scientific and technical opinions. An attorney will know what type of evidence is needed to prove the elements and will be able to identify and hire expert witnesses on your behalf.
Before a case proceeds to trial, the parties exchange information about evidence and witnesses through the discovery process. An attorney may also obtain information from witnesses through use of questioning tactics such as depositions and interrogatories. Obtaining this information is essential to your case and may result in settlement offers.
