Lawyers Handling Auto Accident Fire Injuries and Wrongful Death Lawsuits
The majority of automotive experts concur that a burn injury should not befall an occupant of a vehicle in a non-fatal collision. Fuel systems failures have caused fires that have killed the occupants of the vehicle. Most of these fatalities could have been prevented if the fuel tank been properly located or protected.
Automotive engineers are familiar with the proper placement of the fuel tank location in order to prevent tragedies from occurring. If a vehicle’s fuel tank is behind the rear axle or outside the frame rails, it has a vulnerability to rupture during a collision. Fuel dilemmas may be attributable to the placement of the fuel lines in prospective crush zones or failing to properly shield exposed fuel lines in the likelihood of an accident. Vehicle fires may be a consequence of fuel line failure or the rupturing of a fuel line. In several documented cases, numerous deaths occurred subsequent to fuel lines rupturing and causing an overflow of gasoline that swelled the car fire. Many vehicles currently on the road are susceptible to these malfunctions.
