Commentary:
Modern cars on today’s roads are generally speaking built from the ground up with safety and crash survivability in mind, so whenever a car bursts into flames after an accident, its a safe bet to say something probably very serious went wrong. Luckily though, the science of tracing fires has been refined quite a bit over the years, and a trained accident investigator can trace the origin of a fire by following its path to the source. If the source turns out to be a faulty party, or the result of poor design, the manufacturer could bear some of the liability in this accident for their substandard design.
