SUV Rollovers - Florida
By T.Going
SUV (Sport Utility Vehicles) sales have sky-rocketed in the United States over the past few years. In 2004,
SUV’s accounted for 25 percent of all new-vehicle sales with over 22 million on the road. Because SUV’s are
larger, and heavier than other cars, buyers often times overlook the safety issues concerning them.
Unfortunately, SUV’s have the leading cause of rollover death on our highways. New statistics show that more
than 12,000 people died last year in rollover accidents with SUV’s accounting for 62 percent.
In Florida, SUV sales are rising and so are the problems that come along with them. Because SUV’s have a
higher center of gravity, they are the most unstable and rollover-prone vehicles on the road today. Many SUV’s
are designed to be driven off-road, however very few are equipped with proper equipment such as roll bars. In
addition, only a few meet the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration roof safety standards.
If you or someone that you know has been the victim of an SUV
rollover you should seek help immediately. An experienced SUV attorney can help you understand the complex
legal system to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. Don’t let legal time constraints impede
or terminate your case before it happens. Contact a lawyer immediately!
