Every year approximately 10,000 people die as the result of Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) rollover accidents. Since SUV’s have a higher center of gravity and are taller and narrower than other automobiles they are less stable. Vehicle instability has led to many rollover accidents, which occur when the vehicle leaves the pavement, goes off a curb, or hits an object in the road. Additionally, an SUV has a greater chance of rollover when it is weighed down with cargo.
In certain situations all types of vehicles have the ability to rollover, although it takes less for an SUV. Even though sport utility vehicles are portrayed in advertisements as being rugged vehicles which can be used for off-road driving, they are not equipped with the necessary safety gear, such as roll bars, to prevent injuries in the event of a rollover accident. The injuries that may result from a rollover accident are very serious and have the potential to leave the victim with life altering permanent disabilities, such as:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Head and neck injuries
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Paralysis
Vehicle manufacturers are responsible for providing consumers with safe vehicles that are free of unreasonable hazards or defects. If a company’s vehicle has any type of defect that occurred due to negligence in design or manufacturing, the manufacturer must be held liable for the resulting injuries and deaths.
