Why CNG Accidents Demand Attention

CNG vehicles may have a reputation for their environmental friendliness but come with inherent risks due to their high-pressure gas and ability to quickly combust. The consequences can be dire and may lead to severe injuries, painful burns, lifelong complications, or fatalities. These complex incidents require specialized knowledge and CNG legal expertise.

The Increased Danger of CNG Accidents

Explosive Risk: Compressed natural gas, by nature, contains unique properties that heighten the risk for explosion. These types of accidents can be more devastating, financially and physically, than those involving traditional fuel vehicles that tend to burn slower.
