Experienced Auto Accident Attorneys Protecting Car Fire Victims in Chicago and Illinois
Car fires are among the most common and devastating fires encountered by firefighters. Defective fuel tanks or fuel systems, which subsequently leak oil, precipitate most car fires. Fuel-fed fires progress rapidly and usually cause severe injuries or death. If you or a loved one has sustained serious injuries during a collision-induced car fire, contact our experienced auto accident attorneys in Chicago for superior legal representation.
A variety of fuel system structural errors or location flaws contribute to a malfunctioning fuel system. The design of the system may place the fuel tank in close proximity to another engine component that could puncture the tank in the event of a collision. Other frequent fuel system defects include leaky fuel lines from faulty design or dangerous location and improper protection of the fuel tank against reasonable force or damage. At The Healy Law Firm, our knowledgeable auto accident attorneys, practicing out of Chicago, Illinois, thoroughly understand the structural and design flaws that result in thousands of unnecessary serious and fatal injuries each year.
If manufacturers institute certain safety standards, many of the injuries and deaths resulting from car fires could be prevented. Siphoning allows fuel to rapidly flow out of the tank because of gravity. Anti-siphoning devices can be attached to the fuel system, preventing the escape of fuel so that fuel cannot ignite and cause a car fire. Unfortunately, there are no federal regulations overseeing the assembly or design of fuel systems. The automobile manufactures have no incentive to implement this costly safety standard.
If you have been injured in a car fire, it is crucial that you immediately contact one of the qualified auto accident attorneys in your area. In Chicago and throughout Illinois, car fire victims rely on The Healy Law Firm for effective and highly successful legal representation from dedicated, experienced attorneys.
