Rollover accidents


Rollover accidents can happen in a blink of an eye. The vehicle turns on its side or brought upside down to its roof, turning the occupants’ world upside down in no time – literally and figuratively.

Statistic shows that there are about 28,000 cases of roll over accidents each year in the US. 10,000 people suffer wrongful death due to them while 24,000 others are seriously injured.

All vehicles have the tendency to roll over. However, study revealed that SUVs tend to roll over more easily than any other type of vehicle. They are usually made higher, and can go faster – the factors which make them more susceptible to roll over.

Among the vehicles that have received recent publications on rollover are: Ford Bronco II, Suzuki Samurai, Jeep CJ, Ford E-Series and Isuzu Trooper. Compared to them, the NHTSA investigation did not show the same evidence of risk in other types of vehicles.

Rollover often results to fatal injuries such as paralysis, brain injury or even wrongful death because roofs are not made strong enough to support the vehicles’ weight during rollover accident.

Injuries and deaths would have been prevented if only the roofs were adequately reinforced by manufacturers to protect the occupants.

But the manufacturers never did. For over four decades now, car industries continue to manufacture cars with inferior roof causing it to collapse during roll over accidents that cost the lives of countless of people.

If you or anyone of your family member is injured because of rollover accident, particularly SUV, you may have the right to go not only against the person who cause the accident but also against the manufacturer of your defectively designed SUV.
