Women Files Lawsuit Over Defective Tire
Two women involved in a car crash that resulted in five fatalities have filed a lawsuit against a tire manufacturer, claiming that the cause of the crash was a faulty tire that was recalled five years ago. The two women from Madera state that the defective tire caused their vehicle to veer off the road and hit a tree.According to the lawsuit filed by the two women the tire manufacturer, Continental Tire North America, is guilty of wrongful death and negligence, as well as product liability. The accident occurred last week, and the women’s parents and three other relatives were killed as a result of the accident. Two others were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The two sisters filing the lawsuit, Yuri Camacho, 23, and Virginia Camacho, 21, were not involved in the accident. A lawyer for the sisters stated: "As you can imagine for anyone that has lost their parents and younger brother, they are devastated. What we do in these cases is try and move forward for discovery to find why this tire is manufactured in a defective manner."
A spokesperson for the tire company said that the company’s "…thoughts and well wishes are with the families involved in the accident in California." He added: "At this time we have not had the opportunity to inspect the tires or the vehicle involved" but "will take all necessary steps to thoroughly investigate this matter."
