What You Need To Know:

SUV Rollover Accidents

SUV rollover accidents are among the most dangerous of all motor vehicle accidents . Sometimes rollovers result from a collision between two or more vehicles. At other times, a rollover is a single vehicle accident.

In the United States, there were about 70,000 accidents involving rollovers of sport utility vehicle (SUV) in 2002. These crashes killed 2,000 Americans and injured thousands more.

After a single-vehicle rollover, the driver may not realize that someone's negligence may have contributed to the accident. In fact, a rollover accident may be caused by factors like gross negligence in the production of tires, poor vehicle design, or road defects. Please contact our office for a free legal consultation, if you or your family were in a rollover accident.

The serious nature of these crashes is clear. Rollovers account for 19% of the deaths in standard automobiles, 36% of the deaths in pick-up trucks, and 51% of all deaths in SUV accidents. Often the occupants of a vehicle are physically ejected during a rollover. A person who is in a rollover accident is extremely lucky, if he or she escapes serious injury.

One reason for the higher rate of SUV rollovers may be the vehicle design. An SUV may have a high center of gravity and a relatively narrow wheelbase, which make it more likely to rollover in a collision. If you drive an SUV, be sure that you always wear a seatbelt and drive within the posted speed limit.
