In 2003, 35.7 percent of fatal SUV crashes involved a rollover. By contrast, in that same year, 15.8 percent of fatal passenger accidents involved a rollover.

How an SUV rollover accident may happen

An SUV may rollover due to the vehicle design. These vehicles are top-heavy, which makes them prone to rollovers. An auto manufacturer or parts manufacturer may be responsible for a defect that leads to a rollover crash. We have access to experts who can closely examine the details of your rollover crash and provide testimony on your behalf.

Injuries in rollover accidents can be severe due to the nature of the crash. When an SUV rolls over, the roof may get crushed. In some cases, occupants are thrown from the vehicle, which may result in a fatality, which could lead to a wrongful death lawsuit.

Rollover accidents are a common cause of traumatic brain injury. Forty percent of all rollover deaths occur in sports utility vehicles or SUVs. The reason is that some SUVs are defectively designed, making them less stable and more likely to flip during a car crash. The increased risk of vehicle rollovers in SUVs has been well documented and vehicle manufacturers are well aware of this threat. However, they often choose financial gain over design changes which could prevent thousands of traumatic brain injuries each year.
