Utility Terrain Fire and Burn Risk Leads to Recall

Are you seeking information on a utility terrain vehicle fire injury case? Have you or a family member or friend been involved in a utility terrain vehicle fire? Recently the Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced two recalls by two separate utility vehicle manufacturers involving potential fire hazards with their utility vehicles. In one recall, it was thought that a leaking fuel tank could cause fuel to leak and cause a possible fire; in the other recall, it was thought that a cracked fuel line could cause fuel to leak and catch on fire and possible cause injuries to the occupants of the utility vehicle.

Utility vehicle fire cases would fall under a products liability case. If there was a defective gas line or fuel tank, there may be a manufacturing defect involved with that part.

IMPORTANT TIPS AND INFO THAT YOU NEED AFTER A UTV FIRE

After any injury caused by a defective product, it is very important to retain and keep the defective product. So if you are burned in a utility terrain vehicle fire, it is essential that you keep the utility vehicle itself. Disallow authorities to take the vehicle from you. Do not allow insurance companies to take the vehicle away. Additionally, do not allow them to purchase it from you. Do not take the vehicle to a junk yard or otherwise get rid of the vehicle. Also, take numerous pictures of the vehicle as well as the terrain where the accident occurred.

You should also immediately reach out to an attorney. An attorney can give you key legal advice right after the accident in order to protect your rights going forward.
