Many vehicles are unsafe and do not meet the
National Highway Traffic Safety (NHTSAAdministration
(NHTSA) standards. Certain types of vehicles
are dramatically more unsafe than others, including
certain Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), Ford Bronco IIs,
Minivans, and 15 Passenger Vans. All of these vehicles
have high rollover risk, mostly due to their unstable
structure, high center of gravity, and narrow wheel
base. Your accident may not have been your fault. Rather,
your vehicle could have had a high propensity to roll
over during emergency maneuvers even at low speeds,
and your vehicle could have had major safety flaws that
made it unable to protect you during your collision.
Auto manufacturers have a responsibility to
produce safe vehicles for drivers. Instead,
they often care more about profits than the safety of
drivers. Auto manufacturers have a responsibility to
ensure that vehicles do not have a predisposition to
roll over or crash. They also have a responsibility
to ensure that vehicles are crashworthy if an accident
does occur. Many vehicles on the roads today are at
a higher risk for rolling over in addition to being
less crashworthy and more likely to undergo roof crush,
side impact damage, and other damage that can lead to
serious injury and death of the passengers.
Our accident lawyers analyze every aspect of
car and truck accidents to identify the defects in the
vehicle that caused the accident. Often, insurance
companies will make accident victims feel that the accident
was the driver’s fault, when in fact an experienced
lawyer can determine that the vehicle was defective.
If you or a loved one were in
an accident, your injuries could be the result of a
defective or unsafe vehicle. Contact our accident attorneys
