Vehicle Accidents in California

Studies show that most vehicles catch on fire because of mechanical errors, such as fuel leakages, overheating, short circuits, and more. When this happens, those who obtain injuries can file a personal injury lawsuit against the manufacturing company, dealership, or anyone else associated with the making, selling and maintenance of the vehicle.
Because there were multiple factors that led up to this accident, determining liability may be complicated. Investigators are figuring out what caused the initial vehicle to catch on fire. They’re also determining whether the smoke from the fire made it hard to see under the overpass. They’re even checking to see if drugs, alcohol, or fatigue played a role since the accident happened at around 4:25 a.m. Once they conclude their findings, the pickup truck driver may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
