It usually means the interior was contaminated by blood, body fluids or similar material, and cleaning or repair is needed. Insurers and sellers may use the phrase when a vehicle was exposed to hazardous contamination.
A biohazard car is a vehicle with blood, vomit, urine, feces or other hazardous material inside. It may look only stained, but the fluids can soak into foam and carpet and keep spreading odor and germs.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the vehicle, do not drive it, and do not wipe or spray the fluids. Take photos for insurance and note what the contamination touched.
Soaked foam, carpet and used supplies are sealed in leak-proof bags and handled as regulated medical waste, not ordinary trash. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
It does not cover regular car accidents. If a crime happened in the vehicle, ask the Attorney General's office whether your case qualifies, at (800) 983-9933. Businesses and organizations cannot apply.
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B and HIV. Dried blood can still be hazardous, and enclosed cabins hold odor. That is why the area is cleaned with protection and disinfected.
