Rollovers - Welcome

Rollovers are the leading cause of death on America's highways.

Rollovers can be caused by defective tires, tire tread separation, defective design of the vehicle itself or a combination of these and other factors.

Trucks, vans and SUVs are far more likely to experience rollovers than a car. These types of vehicles typically sit higher off the road than cars. They are also not classified as 'passenger vehicles'. Unfortunately, this means that they do not have to meet the same safety regulations as cars and station wagons.

While SUVs are among the most popular vehicles in America, they are also the riskiest when it comes to rollover accidents. Despite the high likelihood of a rollover accident, many SUV manufacturers fail to design sufficient safety measures into the vehicles. The lack of a roll bar and defective airbags in many models also increase the likelihood of death or serious injury during a rollover accident.
