You should not assume
that the fire was a "normal" result of
the accident. Vehicle fuel systems are designed
to avoid breaching and not spill fuel in most accidents.
However, car and SUV fires can occur for a variety
of reasons, including ones in which another party,
such as the manufacturer, bear responsibility for
the fire. Fuel leaks, faulty engine switches, and
defective tank placement are some of the safety
defects that may lead to a fire in an accident
and for which the manufacturer of the vehicle can
be held liable. |
