SUV Rollover
|
Sport utility vehicles might be safe in that they are big, and can survive a crash better than most standard cars, but many of their manufacturers have not yet successfully built them for practical highway, urban, and suburban use. This failure to adapt the SUV from the outback, to the American road, has caused countless SUV rollovers and accidents, since their spike in popularity in the late '90's. Despite these horrible SUV accidents, 1 in 4 vehicles sold in the U.S. today is an SUV. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 280,000 rollover accidents are occur annually. And, if you own an SUV, the chances of a roll over accident increase. |
The main reason why SUVs tend to rollover is because of their high center of gravity. Because of their top-heaviness, compared to other vehicles on the road, SUVs are more prone to rollover when making sharp turns at high speeds. For this same reason, they also have a tendency to rollover when parked in a steep ditch, or when quickly jerking the steering wheel. If you've been involved in an SUV rollover accident, you need the skills of a highly trained and experienced personal injury attorney in Chicago, like Arkady Reifman. SUV lawsuits involve dealing with the car manufacturer's corporate attorneys, which are often difficult work with, but Arkady Reifman has the skills to take the wheel in your case, that other Chicago SUV rollover attorneys just do not possess. |
