SUV Rollover Lawyers
SUVs, vans and some trucks are more prone to rollovers due to foreseeable events and cause massive injuries or death. Over the years we have seen tire blowouts or emergency maneuvers result in the vehicle flipping or rolling over. When an SUV or van rolls over, whether it was due to a tire blowout, a steering maneuver or taking a turn quickly, there are several factors that can contribute or worsen the injuries to the occupants. These factors include the following:
- SUV Roof Stability or Roof Crush Cases - this occurs where structure of the roof is inadequate, causing the roof of the vehicle to cave in during a rollover and crush the driver and/or the passengers;
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in an SUV or Van - the lack of or the failure of an electronic stability control system can make an SUV or Van easier to roll;
- Laminated and tempered glass - can contribute to glass shattering and lead to an occupant ejection or additional injuries; laminated glass and side-curtain airbags can prevent ejection; and
- Door Handle springs - a malfunctioning door handle spring of a vehicle can cause the vehicle doors to open during a rollover and cause further injury to the vehicle’s occupant.
