Sport Utility Vehicle Rollover Accidents: Why
SUV Manufacturers Are Liable |
|
|
| A number of safety issues
and vehicle defects contribute to SUV rollovers
and lead to serious injury or death in the event
of a rollover accident. Potential safety issues
include: |
- The vehicle is defective in its handling
and stability because it is top-heavy and
prone to heavy oversteering by drivers,
making a rollover accident likely;
- The vehicle is equipped with defective
door latches that are too weak to hold
the doors shut in a rollover accident,
causing passengers to be ejected from these
vehicles;
- The roof-strength of the SUV is deficient,
resulting in a collapse of the roof in
a rollover accident;
- The vehicle is not equipped with laminated
safety glass which would help prevent passengers
from being ejected in SUV rollovers; and
- The seat belts are defective because
they do not automatically retract and tighten
during an accident.
