Suburbans, Tahoes, Jeeps, Expeditions, Tundras and nearly all pickup trucks have a glaring design and marketing flaw. The flaw is that they are promoted and perceived as a safer vehicle especially for young inexperienced drivers. The manufacturers as well as the dealers promote the field of view and rugged character of the sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and pickup trucks as being a safer option for young drivers. Even experienced drivers can fall victim to some of the vehicles’ inherent stability problems.
False Sense Of Security
Many SUVs are purchased because of their size and perceived safety. Such a large vehicle can make one feel safer and less likely to be injured in an auto accident. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Inherent design flaws in the SUV actually make it one of the most dangerous vehicles on the market under certain driving conditions. Manufacturers can be responsible for injuries that arise due to these unsafe design flaws. If you have been in an SUV rollover accident, seek the assistance of experienced San Antonio rollover accident lawyers right away. These types of cases are very technical and often require the assistance of expert witnesses to prove your case.
SUVs are taller vehicles, making their center of gravity higher than normal passenger vehicles. Under evasive driving conditions, such as swerving to avoid a collision, the SUV has been shown to tip and rollover much easier than normal passenger vehicles. This tip factor is enhanced at high speeds and when there is a curb or another tripping mechanism involved in the accident. Some of the smaller SUVs such as older Jeeps have a narrow stance that also increases the vehicles’ likelihood of a rollover. It’s important to act quickly if you have had an SUV rollover. Evidence needs to be secured quickly in order to build a solid case. The law firm of Rush & Gransee, L.C., aggressively pursues Texas SUV, pickup and van rollover cases for its clients.
Another sometimes fatal flaw of the SUV is the proclivity of the roof to crush when the vehicle rolls over. The SUV’s roof is not always adequately reinforced in order to support its own weight in the event of a rollover. What this means to the driver is a high probability of serious neck and spinal cord injuries. As the vehicle rolls, the roof is crushed into the driver and passenger’s head room causing head, neck and spinal cord injuries that may not have otherwise occurred. The manufacturers of SUVs are responsible for this fatal flaw, so it is imperative that you contact an experienced Texas SUV rollover accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident.
