Atlanta Injury Attorneys Emphasize Importance of Tire Safety in Preventing Car Accidents

The Atlanta injury attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are emphasizing the importance of tire safety in preventing motor vehicle accidents in Georgia. Keeping tires well maintained can improve the vehicle’s handling and braking, as well as increase overall highway safety. Several steps can help drivers ensure their tires are in good condition, and may be a worthwhile investment of time in protecting the safety of the owner and fellow occupants. 
 
The Atlanta injury attorneys at Morgan and Morgan believe that several simple steps can help prevent tire failure, which is a common cause of Georgia auto accidents. First, drivers should check their vehicles’ tire pressure at least once a month and avoid high tire temperatures, which can be caused by excessive speeds, rough pavement and heavy loads. Additionally, drivers should inspect tires regularly for abnormal wear or damage and rotate tires every 6,000 miles. Maintaining tires in proper balance and keeping steering and suspension in proper alignment are also additional steps that may prevent Georgia car accidents. Vehicle owners are also advised to install tires in matched pairs or complete sets. Lastly, drivers should always be aware of signs of tire failure which may include: cracking or cuts in the sidewalls; excessively worn or uneven tread wear; excessive vibration; or bulges and blisters on the sidewall. 

Because tire under inflation and poor tire maintenance have led to many car crashes in Georgia, the Atlanta injury attorneys at Morgan and Morgan hope this information may help prevent future accidents. Additionally, the Atlanta injury attorneys at the firm would like to remind auto accident victims that they may have legal recourse if their injuries were the result of another’s negligence or recklessness.
