I have recently written a series on the danger of being hit by others' loose tires or unsecured loads, and whether uninsured motorist coverage might be available for those claims. Now, Lansing personal injury lawyer Dave Mittleman has a post with a new twist:  what if your own tire comes loose? 

Dave tells the story of one of his clients who had a tire change, and a week after the tire change, the wheel assembly came loose and the car came to a violent stop.  Unfortunately, Dave's client was permanently disabled as a result of the wreck. 

Dave's story is a sobering reminder of how things can go wrong even when we're attempting to protect ourselves from problems.
