Vehicle Fire

When a vehicle catches fire in a crash, it can cause serious or fatal injuries. Victims who survive a vehicle fire may be permanently disabled or disfigured and face a lifetime of pain and suffering. When drivers or passengers die in a vehicle fire, surviving family members may be facing serious financial hardships along with the tragic loss of a loved one.

The highly combustible lithium batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) may combust spontaneously or catch fire after a collision. These fires burn at extremely high temperatures and they are very difficult to contain. EV batteries have caused building fires that resulted in death and serious injury.
