SUV Rollover Accidents

Rollover Accident Lawyers in Phoenix, Arizona

Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) are among the most popular type of passenger vehicle in Phoenix, and the state of Arizona.  Manufacturers market them as safe for everyday driving, but also safe to take off road to go “four wheeling.”

Many SUVs are defectively designed resulting in a dangerous product.  As a result of their defective design, many SUV models experience rollover accidents in a far greater proportions than other passenger vehicles.

An SUV rollover accident can lead to serious injury, brain injury, and wrongful death.

SUVs, like pickups, are more likely to rollover in an accident than most passenger vehicles because they have a much higher center of gravity.  They also ride higher off the ground than passenger cars.

It is estimated that over 10,000 people died in rollover accidents annually, and over 60% of those occur in SUVs, over three times the rate for passenger cars.

Many SUVs were defectively designed because the vehicles roofs can not sustain the weight of the vehicle when it rolls over.  This is despite the fact that SUVs are marketed as off-road vehicles, yet they do not possess even the most basic roll bars, or other standard safety equipment.

Ironically, many consumers who purchase SUVs cite safety as one of the reasons they purchased an SUV, believing that they were more protected because they are larger and higher than most passenger vehicles.
