Legal Question in Product Liability in Georgia

Re: Shredded tire

Do the following:

1. Get down on your knees.

2. Close your eyes.

3. Put your hands together.

4. Thank God your son wasn't seriously injured or killed.

Then, if you are so inclined, send the company the repair bill and a certified letter demanding payment for the damage. Send a copy to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration in Washington. Both are likely to send a form letter. The company won't pay.

You could file a small claim against the tire manufacturer in Magistrate Court, pro se.

I hope you have comprehensive coverage on your auto insurance policy. That would be your best bet for dealing with the repair bill.

Re: Shredded tire

Your son, you and everyone in your family are fortunate this did not kill your son or happen in such a way or at a time to kill or seriously injure another family member or friend.Was your son injured in any way?Call me at (770)427-8468.I would like to know which manufacturer made this tire. In the meantime maybe the best thing you can do is have your car fixed by your insurer (collision coverage)and turn your insurance company loose on them. If the insurer recovers you get back your deductible. Ron Lowry
