Limited Information on This Accident
The vehicle fire on the Platt Bridge is without much detail initially available. It was a single-car accident. There was no word on any injuries. It was significant enough to have fire crews out, and the eastbound lane of the bridge shut down until it could be cleared.
At Kwartler Manus, in a case like this, our investigators would work to understand the cause of the accident. It may have overheated or caught fire due to poor maintenance, which may be the fault of the driver. Other times, manufacturer defects or, in some cases, repair technician failures could have contributed to the incident.
Any time you are in an accident, or you suffer injuries due to a vehicle failure someone else caused, it is critical to seek out help from an attorney. Let your car accident attorney investigate all potential causes of such an event.
