Post-Collision Fire Defect Lawyer
Fighting for Victims of Vehicle Fires and Explosions
When a crash occurs, modern vehicles should be designed to protect occupants — not ignite into deadly infernos. Yet defective fuel tanks, fuel lines, or electrical systems often cause post-collision fires and explosions, turning otherwise survivable accidents into catastrophic or fatal tragedies.
At McCartney Stucky, we represent clients nationwide and in New York City and the Kansas City metro in high-stakes post-collision fire cases.
If you’re searching for a post-collision fire defect lawyer near me, our attorneys have decades of trial experience exposing dangerous automotive designs and holding manufacturers accountable.

Tanks mounted outside protective frame rails or in crumple zones that rupture easily in rear-end collisions.

Poorly routed or shielded lines that break under crash forces, feeding fires that engulf the passenger compartment.

Unprotected Diesel or Gasoline Tanks in Heavy Trucks
