Car new tyre lost pressure resulting in an accident?

  • Car new tyre lost pressure resulting in an accident? I had a new tyre fitted and within me driving the car with less than 50miles the tyre lost pressure forcing me to fail to control the car, the car hit the road side barrier, causing extensive damage to the car wheel and bumper on the side of the new tyre that had lost pressure, the car is a company car.I reported this to the tyre people and they said this could be an act of God but have refused to put it in writing.The tyre people then took the tyre from the auto body repair company were the car is being estimated for repairs for now they have said there was nothing wrong with the tyre installations and they have now sent the tyre to the manufacture res to do another inspection. I am worried that this could go round in circles and not sure where i stand in terms of insurance cover as the insurance company has now requested a revaluation as the repair bill is rather excessive. Its sad to note that all these people involved are worried about the cost of the repairs than if i am OK ? I need to get advise as to where I stand regarding the claim as it looks they are not working quick and all want to protect themselves ? Additional Details Sorry this occur ed in the UK if this helps with understanding

  • Answer:

    As you say it is a company car then I do not see why you have to be concerned as any loss will not be yours. It is possible that the tyre deflated as a result of the crash and not being the cause of it and it is also possible in 50 miles that something other than bad installation caused it to go down.

Sounds like you got a simple puncture causing the tyre to deflate: that is the only reason a tyre will lose pressure quickly, or maybe you drove over a pothole or something in the road causing damage to the tyre.

You say your tyre lost pressure causing you to lose control of the car resulting in accident - is that right? How do you know the tyre had lost pressure? If you have a tyre pressure monitor on your car, the car would've told you this and you then should've acted on it by pumping up the tyre to the correct pressure. But as you've got a company car (as you say) you needn't be worried as the insurance will be covered by your employer. So you don't need t know where you stand re the claim as your insurance will cover you regardless of the outcome of any revaluation/inspection/investigation into the tyre's pressure and the cause of it. Do you not get a replacement car whilst your company car is in for repairs? Have you actually logged a clasim with your insurance co?
