Is There Any Legal Action I Can Take For A Dealership Not Properly Securing Tires That Later Flew Off The Car On The Freeway?…

Card image cap

Basically went to get an oil change, vehicle inspection, and tire rotation today at a dealership. After about two hours… they were finally done. Gave my car a clean bill of health. I got onto the on ramp to the freeway less than a mile away… got up to 60mph annnnnnd then a tire flew off. And then a second tire flew off. During the attempted correction of my vehicle I slammed into the guard rail wall thing… and popped another tire. Called 911. Although sore and completely spooked, I was cleared. EMS called the dealership for me and even drove me there and walked in with me. And the dealership gave me a rental and told me they’d take care of any damages. I also let my insurance know what’s going on. I wasn’t able to safely take pictures of my car but the state trooper was and I have his info. My main thing is… I’m terrified of them fixing my car if they can’t even properly secure a tire… Do I have a leg to stand of if I went after them legally? My car is worth MAYBE 10k via KBB. Sorry if I’m not making sense, I’m still kind of buggered up mentally and physically from it.
