SUV Rollover Attorneys

Everyday in the United States there are hundreds of SUV, Passenger Van & Light Truck rollovers. SUV rollover accidents accounted for more than 10,000 fatalities in the United States in 1999, which is more than side and rear crashes combined. The result was thousands of serious injuries. Some rollover accidents may be preventable if consumers realize the dangers involved in SUV vehicles and the serious and tragic injuries that can result.

SUV rollovers can be caused by:

- Tire failures
- Tire tread defects (detreading or delamination)
- Poor stability design
- Poorly designed suspension system
- Inadequate brakes
- Defective door latches
- Glass / windshields that allow passengers to be ejected during the rollover
- Weak roof supports that crush or collapse
- Weak, defective, or poor fitting seatbelts
- Lack of headrest or head restraint devices
- Overly aggressive airbags
- Defective fuel tanks leading to a fire

One of the main reasons why SUVs tend to rollover in comparison to most cars and station wagons is that SUVs have a higher center of gravity. SUVs ride higher from the ground than passenger cars. While rollover accidents represent about 3% of all crashes in the U.S., almost 33% of deaths on highways occurred in rollover crashes.
