Does Insurance Cover Tire Blowouts on Highways?
1 Answers
Car tires are considered consumable items and are generally not covered by insurance claims. However, if a tire blowout leads to a traffic accident, the insurance company will assess the situation and provide compensation accordingly. Below are specific insurance coverage details: 1. Theft of parts not covered: Insurance policies typically exclude partial theft, meaning if only certain vehicle components or accessories are stolen, robbed, or damaged, it falls under exclusions. 2. Tire blowouts not covered: Insurance does not compensate for standalone tire damage. However, if a tire blowout causes collisions, rollovers, or other accidents resulting in damage to other parts of the vehicle, the insurance company will cover those losses. 3. Waiving the right to claim not covered: In case of a collision with another vehicle where the other party is at fault, you cannot waive your right to claim compensation from them. Once you relinquish the right to seek compensation from a third party, you also forfeit your right to claim from the insurance company.
