Rollovers are the second most common type of fatal crash and the most common for SUV's, minivans and pickup trucks.

Often SUV rollovers are caused by tire defects including: blow outs, detreading, delamination, poor stability, poor suspension system design and break failure. Rollover accidents often due to in part defective tire blowout or sudden tire failure can cause a loss of control. At higher speeds, these design flaws are more likely to cause the SUV to roll over.  Because the driver is at a higher center of gravity, studies have found that when driving 60 MPH, the average driver of an SUV reports to feel as if they are driving at 40 MPH. Drivers often turn at a faster speed than they believe that they are driving which is another common cause for SUV rollover.

There are many additional dangers that can encounter after the rollover takes place:

  • Overly aggressive airbag
  • Weak roof support
  • Crushed / collapsed roof
  • Lack of headrest or head restraint device
  • Dangerous or defective seat belts
  • Defective fuel tanks, fuel systems leading to fuel fires
  • Defective window or windshield glass
  • Victim ejected from vehicle
