Gas Tank
Most gas tank related injuries occur because of unsafe design, inadequate safety features, improper installation, or a lack of sufficient maintenance procedures. Our lawyers are well-versed in these types of claims and know how to handle them effectively.
Our job is to prove that the gas tank or fuel system was defective and directly contributed to an accident or injuries. If the tank ruptured easily on impact, has faulty valves, or was installed improperly, it may be defective. We conduct a thorough investigation, including crash scene analyses, evaluation by accident reconstruction experts, and an in-depth examination of the vehicle and its history.
Because these cases can be complex and involve multiple parties when it comes to proving liability, it is important to work with attorneys experienced in successfully handling these claims.
Compensation for these lawsuits typically involves covering medical expenses, lost income, emotional distress, and any other related damages. Punitive damages may also be awarded depending on the specifics of the case.
