Commercial Vehicle Rollover
Any car accident can cause injuries and traumas. However, rollover accidents more often result in serious or even fatal injuries. While the percentage of rollover crashes throughout the nation is relatively low, the majority of fatal outcomes take place during such accidents.
Sport utility vehicles, with their high center of gravity, comprise a majority of rollover accidents in the nation. This design error may put entire families in danger of being seriously injured. SUV rollovers are not only more common than rollovers in smaller cars, but they are also much deadlier, resulting in two times more fatalities. Due to the rise in popularity of SUVs, litigation over rollovers in these vehicles has increased as well.
If you or a loved one were injured or traumatized due to a rollover accident, you may want to pursue a claim against the vehicle manufacturer. In such case, timing is very important. The personal injury staff at Gomez Law Firm urge you to seek legal representation as soon as possible.
The Case Against Vehicle Manufacturers

In a rollover accident, the vehicle’s center of gravity paired with a sharp move can force it to tip over. The faster the vehicle is going, the higher the risk of rolling over in this way.
This outcome may be caused by defects in vehicle design. In some cases, the vehicle should not have rolled over to begin with. In others, the vehicle’s ability to withstand the crash might have been insufficient.
