Knowledgeable San Antonio SUV Rollover Lawyers

SUVs, vans, and some trucks are more inclined to rollover due to foreseeable events (such as tire blowouts or emergency maneuvers to avoid hitting a person or object on the road) than other vehicles.

SUV Rollover Injury Causes and Contributors

When an SUV rollover occurs, whether it was due to a tire blowout, a quick maneuver to avoid hitting something, or taking a turn too quickly, there are several factors that can contribute to the injuries occupants may sustain. Those factors include the following:

• SUV roof stability (roof crush) – the inadequacy of the roof structure can cause the roof to cave in during a rollover and crush the driver and passengers of the SUV;
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in an SUV – the lack of or failure of an electronic stability control can make an SUV easier to roll;
• Laminated and tempered glass – which can contribute to glass shattering and causing occupant ejection or additional injury; laminated glass and side-curtain airbags can prevent ejection; and
• Door handle springs – a malfunctioning door handle spring can cause the vehicle doors to open during a rollover and cause further injury to the vehicle’s occupant.
