Car Accident Explosions and Fires

A very common cause of a car accident fire or exploding car accident in California is the vehicle being poorly designed. Metal, shrapnel or debris puncture can easily pierce the gas tank. If the gas tank is punctured in an auto accident the odds of a fire or explosion increase immensely. On some model automobiles the gas tank can be poorly situated and this design flaw can also end in a California defective auto design accident.

Injuries Sustained In A California Exploding Car Accident

Typical injuries in a car fire accident are injuries to the skin, membranes which lead to scarring and disfiguring injuries. There is the risk of being trapped in the car while the fire burns and possibly causes an explosion. These are the main variations in an exploding car accident compared to a more conventional automobile accident. As with any type of car crash a car fire accident can induce injuries such as broken bones, head injuries, back and neck injuries as well as accidental death.
