Tire Blowout Truck Accident Lawyers Serving Massachusetts and Connecticut
When Safety Bursts, Raipher Fights For The Win
A tire blowout on a commercial truck can turn an ordinary drive into chaos within seconds. When an 18-wheeler loses a tire at highway speed, the driver can lose control, debris can scatter across multiple lanes, and nearby vehicles can be crushed or forced off the road. On major routes like I-90, I-91, I-84, and Route 9, these violent truck accidents often lead to catastrophic or fatal injuries.
While tire failures may seem sudden, most are preventable. Poor maintenance, defective manufacturing, and overloading are leading causes. Trucking companies are required under federal law to inspect and replace worn tires before each trip, yet many skip this step to save time or money. When they do, innocent people pay the price.
That is where Raipher, P.C. steps in. Our tire blowout truck accident lawyers serve victims and families across Massachusetts and Connecticut. Our firm investigates every detail to expose negligence and recover full compensation. With more than $100 million recovered for clients, Raipher has the skill, resources, and national reach to take on trucking companies and win.

How tire blowout truck accidents happen
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets strict standards for tire condition and inflation on commercial trucks. When companies ignore these rules, the risk of blowouts rises sharply.
Common causes include:
- Underinflated or Overinflated Tires: Incorrect pressure weakens tire walls, increasing the risk of rupture.
- Worn Tread Or Bald Spots: Reduces grip and heat resistance during long hauls.
- Defective Manufacturing: Faulty materials or bonding failures causing separation.
- Overloading: Excess weight that tires were never designed to bear.
- Improper Maintenance Or Inspection: Skipped pre-trip checks that could have identified hazards.
These failures point to negligence, either by the driver, carrier, or tire manufacturer. Identifying the source of that failure requires detailed investigation, and that’s where Raipher’s legal firepower makes the difference.
Who may be liable in a tire blowout crash
Proving liability in these cases often means looking beyond the driver. Raipher’s team uncovers evidence from multiple sources to ensure every responsible party is held accountable.
Those who may share fault include:
- Trucking Companies: For skipping maintenance or knowingly operating unsafe equipment.
- Drivers: For ignoring warning signs or failing to perform required inspections.
- Maintenance Contractors: For negligent tire installation or service.
- Manufacturers: For producing defective or poorly tested tires.
- Cargo Loaders: For exceeding weight limits that stress tires and brakes.
Each layer of liability can increase available insurance coverage and improve the value of your claim. Raipher’s attorneys coordinate across jurisdictions to secure maintenance logs, black-box data, and corporate records before they disappear.
Injuries and damages in tire blowout truck accidents
The force of a blowout-induced crash can cause catastrophic harm, even to occupants in vehicles several lanes away. The size and speed of a truck make these wrecks some of the most destructive on the road, often leaving survivors with injuries that require years of medical care and rehabilitation.
Common injuries in tire blowout truck accidents include:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries: Caused by head impact or violent jolting during the crash.
- Spinal Cord Damage: Leading to paralysis, loss of mobility, or chronic pain.
- Multiple Fractures and Crush Injuries: Often requiring extensive surgeries and long recovery times.
- Internal Bleeding And Organ Damage: From blunt force trauma or rollover impacts.
- Severe Burns And Disfigurement: Resulting from fires or vehicle explosions.
- Wrongful Death: When the crash results in fatal injuries to drivers or passengers.
Compensation in these cases must account for more than immediate medical costs. Victims and families face long-term financial and emotional challenges. Raipher’s attorneys collaborate with medical specialists, life-care planners, and economists to document the full scope of loss, including ongoing treatment, lost earning capacity, pain, and the lifelong consequences of serious injury. Having the right legal team ensures that every dollar of recovery reflects what was truly taken.
