SUV Rollover Accidents

It isn’t a new sight in California freeways and thoroughfares for cars to turn upside down to their roofs during accidents. These occurrences, called rollover accidents, often involve sports utility vehicles or SUVs.

During an accident, even of the slightest kind, the vehicle can turn on its side or brought upside down to its roof.

Statistics shows that there are about 28,000 cases of rollover accidents each year in the US. 10,000 individuals suffer wrongful death due to them while 24,000 others are seriously injured.

All vehicles have the tendency to rollover. However, study revealed that SUVs tend to rollover more easily than any other type of vehicle. They are usually made higher, and can go faster – the factors which make them more susceptible to rollover.

Among the vehicles that have received recent publications on rollover are: Ford Bronco II, Suzuki Samurai, Jeep CJ, Ford E-Series and Isuzu Trooper. Compared to them, the NHTSA investigation did not show the same evidence of risks in other types of vehicles.

Rollover often results to fatal injuries such as paralysis, brain injury or even wrongful death because roofs are not made strong enough to support the vehicles’ weight during accidents. Injuries and deaths would have been prevented if only roofs were adequately reinforced by manufacturers to protect the occupants.
