A Deadly Combination:
SUVs, Tire Failure and Rollover Accidents
Many rollover accidents are caused by defective products. The defect may be in the vehicle itself, the tires it rides on or both. These types of rollover crashes are often complex and require multiple experts to prove.
Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are particularly vulnerable to these types of accidents. Studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that SUVs in fatal crashes roll over about 33 percent of the time; passenger cars and vans roll over only about 17 percent of the time. Why is that? Many SUVs have been designed with a short, narrow wheel base, high ground clearance and a high center of gravity for better off-road performance. Unfortunately, this makes those SUVs top-heavy and easily tipped.
SUV design can combine with tire failure at highway speeds and increase the risk of rollover accidents. How or why do tires fail? Sometimes a tire is damaged by sharp objects in the road or by failure to maintain correct tire inflation and pressure. But manufacturing defects all too often cause the tread to separate suddenly from the tire body, resulting in a catastrophic inability to control the vehicle. As thousands of cases against Firestone, Bridgestone, Michelin and other companies have proven, it isn't just discount tire brands that fail.
Plattner Verderame, P.C., has decades of experience handling product liability cases like these. Even a well-designed car can roll over — but when a rollover is caused by bad design or unsafe manufacturing, we can help.
