Columbia Car Explosion Injury Lawyer

Any explosion or auto fire resulting from a crash is likely to be fatal or cause catastrophic injury to the driver and any passengers. While fault for the collision itself is one important consideration when such a tragedy strikes, it is essential to work with a law firm with experience winning results in product liability lawsuits against negligent auto manufactures.

Turn to Proven Jefferson City Area Faulty Gas Tank Accident Lawyers

In all but the most horrific accidents, a car or truck fire simply should not happen. Investigation often reveals a design flaw or component defect such as:

  • A dangerously located or insufficiently guarded gas tank — a known problem with certain older pickups and other vehicles
  • A defective or improperly designed fuel line
  • A defective muffler or other component in close proximity to the fuel line
  • A defect in the electrical system that may cause a fire even without impact
