WI Product Liability Settlements: Air Compressor Explosion Lawsuits

Injury Settlement Amounts Depend on the Quality of Your Lawyer

Our serious injury lawyers are the best in Wisconsin at getting the maximum financial settlements and judgments for our clients.

Milwaukee Attorneys Uncover Hidden Liability to Get You Compensation

First things first: If you’ve been injured by an exploding tire—or any type of explosion, for that matter—don’t just write it off as bad luck and hope the insurance covers what you need. There could be hidden sources of liability you didn’t think of—such as manufacturers, distributors, sellers, your employer, or the insurance company not willing to pay the maximum. Contact our Wisconsin explosion injury attorneys for a free consultation. We’ll find out who is liable for your injury and get your just compensation.

Product Liability for Exploding Tires, Air Compressors, and More

Our product liability attorneys are not afraid to take big opponents to court to get you the money you deserve. We have years of experience handling tire and equipment explosion cases like these:

Car, Truck, Bike, and Snow Blower Tire Explosions

Tires can be under a lot of pressure from over or under inflation, the weight of the vehicle they carry, and thin or weak spots. On top of that, poor design or manufacturing defects make tires even more likely to fail. Defective carbon rims or other components transform into dangerous shrapnel flying through the air at incredibly high speeds. Anyone in their way could be seriously injured or even killed.

Tire inflation or mounting explosions could occur with any type of vehicle or equipment with tires, including:

Car
Truck
Semi or haul truck
Tractor
Snowblower/snow thrower
Aircraft
Bicycle

Explosions from Pressurized Canisters or Air Compressors

Air compressors are used to power a variety of tools for construction, auto repair, and even home use. If the hoses or fittings fail, they can burst free and go flying, becoming dangerous projectiles. Worse yet, the compressor tank can explode. Even a small portable air compressor for filling bike tires can be deadly. The CPSC (Consumer Products Safety Commission) has recalled many air compressors and other defective equipment over the years, including DeVilbiss air compressors and pressure washers. If you’ve been injured in an air compressor explosion, give us a call and come to a free consultation.

Exploding Plastic Rims on MTD Snow Throwers

Our Milwaukee personal injury attorneys have gotten compensation for many victims of defective wheel rims on MTD snow throwers. When MTD snowblower tires freeze and then are inflated, the tires frequently burst, and the plastic rims explode into dangerous shrapnel. We’ve been so successful and have so much experience with this particular product liability case that other firms regularly recommend us for related cases.

Tire Blowouts Cause Dangerous Car Crashes

You’ve probably seen shreds of tires on the side of the highway from blowouts. Tire blowouts while driving occur most often between mid-May and early October, when the temperatures are hottest, people drive the farthest and fastest, and cars carry heavier loads. Other causes of blowouts include underinflation and potholes.

A tire explosion while airing up or performing maintenance is bad enough. When a tire blows out at highway speeds, it can cause a car crash resulting in serious injury or death. This is a constant possibility for motorcycles, which almost always results in some form of accident. Make sure you’re up-to-date on motorcycle accident laws to see if you qualify for reparations from your accident. If you’ve been injured or a loved one has been killed due to a tire blowout, schedule a free consultation with our personal injury attorneys.

Types of Tire Explosion Injuries

Since many tire explosions occur while the tire is being changed or aired up, the person gets the shrapnel and force of the explosion at close range. As with any kind of equipment explosion, those who survive may suffer life-changing injuries, such as:

Broken fingers, hands, and wrists
Lacerations to the hands, arms, face, and body
Burns
Head trauma
Brain Injury
Eye injuries, including loss of sight
Hearing loss
Bone fractures

Tire Explosion Causes

An exploding tire can put out 12 tons of force—as much as being hit by a truck. Knowing that, it’s no wonder the injuries exploding tires cause are so severe. Any individual issue or combination or problems can cause the tire to burst, such as:

Over inflation
Under inflation
Flammable chemicals in the sealant
Design flaw
Manufacturing defects
