Practice Area: SUV Rollovers

You see them everywhere you go in the bay area. Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have replaced station-wagons as the classic family automobile. With the extra space and 4 wheel drive capabilities of many of these cars, they are perfect for the bay area commuter who likes to get away for the weekend with the family. Unfortunately, SUVs happen to be some of the most dangerous vehicles on our streets today. The design of these trucks, which were originally made for off road use, lends itself to dangerous rollover accidents. Many SUV manufacturers are aware of the design flaws, but choose profits over safety and do not correct them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has shown that Northern California SUV Rollovers occur almost three times as often as passenger car rollovers and it is estimated that more than 10,000 people are killed in rollover accidents each year.

The source of the issue with California SUV Rollovers has to do with faulty design. Most Sport Utility Vehicles were originally designed for off road use, for this reason they were developed with high suspensions and narrow wheel bases. This model layout caused the vehicles to have high centers of gravity and when a driver is forced to make an evasive maneuver when traveling on a highway the design flaws result in rollovers. Add to this dangerous mix the fact that SUV roofs are often not reinforced and tend to cave in when the cars rollover and it’s no wonder that so many people are injured or killed in San Jose SUV Rollover Accidents each year.

When faulty design is coupled with sub-par safety standards, the result can be disastrous. Safety issues that are common with SUVs include:

• Weak roof structure – which results in roof crushes
• Roof intrusion resulting in neck and head injuries
• Weak window/glass which results in passenger ejection
• Seat belted passengers who suffer from partial window ejection of limbs
• High center of gravity
• Narrow wheelbase
• Top heavy designs with high center of gravity
