You Have a Right to Justice^SM for Defective Side Saddle Gas Tank Accidents

General Motors produced pick-up trucks between 1973 - 1987 that were designed with two "side saddle" gas tanks located outside of the trucks' protective steel frame rails. When these trucks are involved in even minor collisions, the side saddle gas tanks ruptures, spilling fuel and causing serious burn injuries and death and serious injury to drivers and passengers.

The liability attorneys of Johnson, Clifton, Larson & Schaller, P.C. believe that negligent manufacturers should be held accountable for their disregard for public safety. By representing injured people and their families, we seek justice and advocate for product improvement and safety.
