Car Battery Explosion Injury Lawyer in California

Car battery explosions happen for a variety of reasons. Most batteries contain sulfuric acid. This substance can cause burns when the battery is handled and catastrophic injuries when a battery explodes. In addition, many batteries contain hydrogen gas that can become unstable, particularly during charging or jumping. A car battery explosion accident can result in severe burns and trauma, even death. In addition, flying debris from the explosion can cause cuts, abrasions and additional burns. To recover completely from this type of accident, physically, emotionally and financially, requires working with insurance companies to secure money for medical bills, property damage, and financial support while you are out of work.

California Car Battery Explosion Laws

Who is responsible for car battery explosion and who should be required to pay for your medical bills and time off of work? The answer depends on the facts of the incident. In most cases, the manufacturer of the battery can be held liable. The logic follows that if they had made a safer battery, the explosion wouldn’t have occurred. Other parties may also be held liable. For instance, if you took your car to a garage or service station to have a new battery installed and they installed the terminals incorrectly, this may have contributed to the explosion. So, too, might a mechanic or emergency auto service employee who gave your dead battery a jump on a cold day. If he or she failed to hook up the jumper cables correctly, it might later cause an explosion.

The legal definition of negligence is “a failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances.” This is also commonly held to mean a failure to exercise one’s duty to act, such as not telling a person that they have their jumper cables attached incorrectly or that charging a battery, in general, could be dangerous.
