Chris Roberts has handled literally dozens of cases for individuals and families who were victims of tire defects that caused serious injury or death.  A properly designed and manufactured tire should not suffer from a tread-belt detachment (also known as a "tread separation," and sometimes referred to as a "blowout").   These types of failures can result from a variety of manufacturing and/or design flaws, most of which will be denied vigorously by the manufacturer.    This is a particularly dangerous type of tire failure which is known to cause loss of vehicle control even for experienced, careful drivers.

If you experienced a loss of vehicle control due to a tire that lost all or part of its tread during operation, and you suffered serious injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one as a result, choose your lawyer carefully.   Not all personal injury lawyers have experience with product defect cases.  These types of cases require the retention of experienced engineering experts, and they are typically defended by law firms with substantial experience in the field.  

Chris Roberts has extensive experience litigating product defect cases, with a focus on tire defects.   To discuss your potential case and learn more about Chris' experience with defective tire litigation against major manufacturers, contact Chris at 727.286.3541, or email him about the circumstances of your potential case at:

Are you looking for a lawyer in the Tampa Bay area to represent you in a personal injury claim?  Individuals faced with serious injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident, or wrongful death of a loved one, may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of attorneys who advertise their services in handling such cases.    Before you make a choice, consider whether you want to be represented a large firm that considers you "just another case," or a small firm that will offer you individual attention.  

Chris Roberts has handled dozens of very high profile personal injury cases, including cases involving multi-million dollar claims.  When you hire Chris to handle your case, you are not assigned to a young associate or paralegal.  Chris will personally guide you every step of the way, from determining insurance coverage available and attempting to obtain compensation for you without filing a lawsuit if possible, to filing a lawsuit and taking the case all the way to trial if necessary.  A lot of lawyers do not like the courtroom and actually "farm out" clients who need to file lawsuits.  Not so with Chris.  Chris has more than 20 years of extensive trial and other litigation experience, and he gives his personal attention to each client.  For a free consultation with Chris about your potential personal injury case, click on the "Contact" link above.  Or just call Chris' office at 727.286.3537 to schedule an appointment.

Chris handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay him unless and until there is a recovery in your favor, either by settlement or verdict.  

Chris Roberts has extensive experience in evaluating and handling vehicle defect cases for consumer victims.   Unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers sometimes fail to recall vehicles that contain dangerous attributes that harm their buyers.  Or they wait too long to issue a recall.   Common types of vehicle defects that result in lawsuits:

Vehicle rollover accidents, where the vehicle rolls over on dry, level payment.  No vehicle -- not even an SUV -- should rollover under these circumstances.  

Vehicle fires.  Vehicles should not burst into flames after minor collisions, or even major ones.  And vehicles certainly should not catch on fire while parked.

Defective air bags.  A defective air bag may fail to deploy when it should, causing enhanced injury to the vehicle occupant that should have been avoided.  Another kind of defect will cause an airbag to deploy when it should not, or shoot dangerous debris towards the occupant.

Sudden acceleration.  The advent of electronic throttle control in vehicles has led to a huge increase in reported incidents of vehicles accelerating to dangerous speeds and crashing, even when the driver has his foot on the brake.

If you have suffered serious injuries in an accident and you suspect a vehicle defect may have caused or contributed to your injuries, consult an experienced attorney.  Chris Roberts has been handling these types of cases for more than a decade, and he has a proven track record of success litigating against some of the largest product manufacturers in the world.
