Tire Tread Separation

In 1998, James F. Swindoll and his associates began a major product liability/personal injury lawsuit against Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (Brownlee, et al. v. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.) over the deaths of a mother, father and oldest son in an accident that also left two of the family's younger sons paraplegics.

A class action against Cooper Tire was also the result of the James F. Swindoll and others arduous investigation into the tire industry's practices of "awling" tire blisters, resulting in hidden defects. The story of those investigations has been published in the Arkansas Times, Wall Street Journal and other newspapers around the country. James Swindoll and his associates have expertise in the tire litigation field and a specific grasp of the facts peculiar to this litigation.
