SUV Rollovers - Tennessee Personal Injury
Tennessee personal injury attorneys know that despite their sturdy appearance, SUV’s can be extremely dangerous vehicles. SUV’s stands for Sports Utility Vehicles. Some SUV ‘s are notorious for their deadly propensity to roll over. Automakers market the safety of these vehicles, despite the fact that they are more prone to rollovers than passenger cars.
Our personal injury attorneys represent clients throughout East Tennessee who have suffered property damage, serious injuries, or the death of loved ones in rollover accidents. The design of a SUV’s contributes to its instability and momentum, which leads to rollovers. Some reasons why vehicles such as SUVs are dangerous include:
• Instability caused by a higher center of gravity
• Instability caused by a narrow wheel base
• High vehicle weight causes increased momentum
• Lack of proper electronic stability control
• Tire blowouts that cause vehicle to lose control
Tennessee injury attorneys know that many people are killed each year in rollover accidents and many more suffer catastrophic injuries, including soft tissue damage, brain, spinal cord and back injuries, broken bones, and injuries to the face and eyes.
