Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) have seen a very rapid rise in popularity over the past decade. SUVs sit high over the ground, making them much easier to roll over in the event of a collision. However, new SUV stabilizing technology and design should prevent rollover accidents where the vehicle’s roof collapses on people inside the vehicle if overturned. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that over 10,000 wrongful deaths occur each year in auto accidents where the roof of a vehicle fails.

What Causes Roof Crush Accidents? SUV Manufacturer Liability for Personal Injury

Automobile manufacturers have legal obligations to ensure that their vehicles can keep drivers and passengers reasonably safe in the event of a collision. When they fail to uphold this duty, they can be held responsible if a car accident injury or fatality occurs.

During a rollover or roof crush accident, the strength of the vehicle’s roof is imperative to the survival of the driver and passenger. A strong roof mitigates the harm of a rollover, and can result in the passengers receiving only minor injuries. However, if a roof fails, then the occupants of a vehicle can be exposed to the hazards of an out-of-control vehicle and have no protection against further collisions or bodily harm.

Some roof crushes are caused by design defects, while others happen due to shoddy or cheap manufacturing. Poorly done repairs, replacements or upgrades may cause other roof failures. Depending on the circumstances of the car accident injury, you may be able to pursue accident compensation from the vehicle company, roof manufacturer and/or the driver that caused the car collision by filing a product liability claim or personal injury lawsuit.
