Vehicles can catch fire as a result of an accident, many times injuring or killing a person who would have otherwise survived the impact of the crash. A defect in the vehicle’s fuel system can lead to a post-collision fuel fed fire. This type of fire often spreads through the vehicle within seconds. While this is extremely dangerous, preventing this type of fire can cost less than a few dollars per vehicle.
Unfortunately, not all vehicle manufacturers take the necessary safety precautions to prevent vehicle fires. The West Palm Beach defective products attorneys at Lytal, Reiter, Clark, Fountain and Williams have obtained numerous verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients who have suffered serious injury or death as a result of a vehicle fire.
