SUV Rollovers

Sport utility vehicles, or SUVs, are a convenient and popular mode of transportation for millions of Americans. Unfortunately, these vehicles are highly susceptible to rollover. According to 2001 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), SUVs were involved in 36 percent of all rollover-related accident deaths in the U.S. – more than any other type of vehicle.

According to 2001 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), SUVs were involved in 36 percent of all rollover-related accident deaths in the U.S. – more than any other type of vehicle.

Manufacturers have since introduced SUVs with lower centers of gravity to correct this problem, but as late as 2004, these redesigned SUVs killed almost 3000 people in the U.S., according to the NHTSA. And plenty of the older-model SUVs are still on the road. Put all this together and it’s obvious that the risk of being injured in a crash involving an SUV rollover is very real.

If you have been in such a crash, you deserve just compensation for your pain, suffering and other losses. An SUV rollover attorney can be of tremendous service. In a sport utility vehicle rollover lawsuit, your attorney will make certain that those responsible for your injuries are held financially responsible for their negligence. By retaining an SUV rollover lawyer, you ensure that those who caused the accident are brought to justice.
