Electrical and Fuel System Defect Lawyer

Advocating for Those Injured by Fires, Explosions, and Electrical Failures

Electrical and fuel systems are supposed to keep vehicles running safely. But when they’re defectively designed, poorly manufactured, or negligently maintained, they can turn cars and trucks into ticking time bombs. Faulty wiring, leaking fuel lines, or unprotected tanks can trigger fires and explosions during — or even after — a crash. These failures often transform otherwise survivable collisions into catastrophic tragedies.


At McCartney Stucky LLC, we represent clients nationwide and locally in the New York City and Kansas City metro areas. If you’re searching for an electrical defect lawyer or a fuel system defect attorney, our team has decades of trial experience holding automakers accountable for preventable hazards.
