Just hearing the words "leaking gas tank," may cause panic. Even a puddle of gas on the side walk may cause concern. Gas leaks in cars often result in these exposed puddles of gas. And when next to an automobile, where the gas is around electric sparks, we immediately recognize a scary situation.
Safety regulations in the car industry hold the manufactures to a high standard. Thus if they are irresponsible in either the design or the manufacturing of a car, this can have serious consequences.
Gas leaks are the number one cause car fires. Although we now know that mechanical gas tanks are safer than their electric counterparts, cars with these defects are still on our roads today, posing a danger to every driver.
The placement of the gas tank on a vehicle may result in an explosion. Famous examples of incorrect placement include Ford's Crown Victorias in the 1990's as well as Ford Pintos back in the 1970's. Since the gas tanks are sometimes located externally, even the smallest accident could cause a devastating explosion.
Even if the car is an older model, car accident attorneys can still pursue cases against the manufacturers should a defect cause an accident. It is important that any car defects are identified and made public -- not only so that you can receive compensation for any injuries you suffered, but also so that the public can be made aware of a dangerous and potentially deadly defect.
A defective gasoline tank that results in fire or explosion should not go unreported. You did not deserve this injury, and it is likely the responsibility of the manufacture to compensate you for your pain and suffering.
