Rollover Accident Attorney
Accident Attorney David Kohm represents rollover accident victims & their families in Arlington, Dallas & Fort Worth Texas
Over the last several years more and more families have gravitated to buy Sport utility vehicles because of their ability to accommodate more passengers and the recreation qualities of going where most cars can’t. With the increase of SUV’s on the roads, there is also an increase in rollover accidents which our personal injury attorneys deal with on a monthly basis.
Did you know that SUV’s have a much higher incidence of rollover than most other vehicles? This has facilitated a greater number of serious injuries resulting from passengers being ejected, and fatalities more than any other passenger vehicles. You may wonder why, and the answer is simple, the flaw is in the way SUVs are constructed.
SUV Design Flaws That Lead to Rollovers
The experts have noted (2) primary flaws in the design of SUV’s which has resulted in countless injuries and fatalities.
Disproportionate stability — A majority of all SUV’s on the roads today are taller and narrower than most other passenger cars, giving the SUV a much higher proportion of gravity making the vehicle top-heavy. Along with this you also have a much narrower wheel base. The combination of these factors can lead to accidents especially if you have to suddenly swerve or take a curve at a high rate of speed causing the SUV to suddenly lose traction. This sudden weight shift can also cause undue pressure on the tires, triggering a blow out
Lack of crashworthiness — It has been noted that certain SUV’s have weak roof supports and roof pillars that collapse from the excessive weight crushing down on passengers once the SUV is upside down. Another design flaw has been in the door locks and door latches failing causing the driver or passengers to be ejected from the SUV. Yes all SUV’s have seatbelts but that doesn’t mean everyone is wearing them.
Beyond the issues noted above, there are numerous other reasons your SUV can be involved in a rollover accident, so don’t lay awake wondering if you have a case, contact an experienced and knowledgable personal injury accident lawyer. We can determine if there are grounds to file suit against the insurance companies and auto or tire manufacturer for your losses to get you the maximum settlement you need for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any lasting disability.
