Blow out, flat tire same difference pretty much when rolling down a highway at 60-70 mph especially if it is a front tire.....I fully expect that their insurance would have to cover all costs for damages and repairs but the people probably were not drinking and driving or driving wrecklessly or anything to warrant any lawsuits or payouts outside of the damages to the truck and any injuries that might have occured. Thats just my opinion, the legal system has just gotten ruined and over used with lawsuits over some things that sometimes just cant be avoided. There really are such things as just accidents that no one really has much control over. If these people were out driving drunk and running 80 mph down the highway swerving in and out of their lanes being wreckless and stupid and caused this accident I would say more power to ya, sue the pants of of them but it does not seem that way. I just hate to see peopleover punished for circumstances they really had no control over. If you are going to sue them you might as well sue the tire company for making a faulty tire that allowed a blow out, on top of that sue the state that the highway was in for allowing small debris to be on the highway that might have punctured the tire and contributed to the blowout, and if it turns out it was a small nail or screw, hey sue the company that produced it for making dangerous products. i know this sounds silly but that is how things work these days it seems, worthy legal actions seem like a joke anymore because the system is over used for crazy stuff. I wish The guys uncle all the best wishes and hope he gets back on his feet as i hate to see anyone go out of business or have troubles like that that threaten their home and family but It's just my opinion that unless there are other circumstances at hand, that doesnt really warrant a lawsuit. Sorry to hi jack the thread with my rant and i hope someone can offer this guy a little info on the rental situation.
