Fort Myers / Bonita Springs / Port Charlotte Vehicle Rollover Lawyers
Rollovers are a sad, common plague in our country. Sport utility vehicles (SUV's) have become a preferred manner of transportation. But, vehicle stability has been an issue since the creation of the SUV. Many SUV's do not have the stability necessary to prevent the vehicle from rolling over in an accident or when an emergency maneuver is made. The lack of stability sometimes worsens injuries that an occupant would have received. Severe trauma including head trauma is a common result. Deaths from rollovers are however, too often seen. According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration, "while rollovers account for 6 percent of crashes in the United States, they account for over 31 percent of occupant deaths."
Vehicle stability and rollover safety have been the center of attention with The National Highway Transportation Safety Association (www.nhtsa.dot.gov). Vehicle manufacturers are aware of the problem but some choose to ignore it, favoring profits over people. Our firm has taken the manufacturers to task and made them answer for their inexcusable conduct.
