California SUV Accident Lawyers

Before the inception of the SUV, there were car accidents on the roads, but with the huge, almost exponential number of these large vehicles driving today, the chance for SUV accidents is much higher than if they did not exist at all.  In fact, one of the most common causes of SUV accidents is that they are more susceptible to roll over than a traditional car or truck.  Because of this, thousands have died and even more have been severely injured due to SUV rollover accidents.  

The victims are often left with nowhere to turn, because often these accidents are only involving one vehicle: theirs.  Many car makers are guilty of creating these larger-than-average vehicles without properly testing them, or by making them so that it’s much easier to roll over driving an SUV than in a smaller car.  

There have been a great deal of lawsuits involving automakers who have to be held accountable for this very serious oversight.  In fact, some lawyers have been able to get millions of dollars to the victims of these SUV accidents by proving that the manufacturer was negligent when it came to properly testing the potential for rollover or other accidents, and then by doing nothing or very little to correct the problem before putting the vehicle out on the market for consumers.  These cars’ high center of gravity makes them notorious for rolling over at high speeds, and there are a high number of these serious accidents occurring each and every year on America’s roads.

Today, almost 15 percent of registered vehicles in the United States are sport utility vehicles.  Over all, that means that over 20 million plus are on the roads in this country.  SUV accidents are very common, and these large vehicles tend to have a higher percentage chance of rolling over.  In fact, they are about 30% more likely to roll over in either the event of a crash or at high speeds than many other types of vehicles on the road today such as compact cars, station wagons, minivans, or small pickup trucks.  Unfortunately, about 61% of fatal SUV accidents are due to rollovers.  

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries from these types of accidents, you may be entitled to monetary compensation, even if no other cars were involved.  You should definitely contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible to find out what your options are no matter what the circumstance.  Often larger automakers produce so many different makes and models of SUV each year that the necessary testing to prevent these horrible accidents is not completed, or the manufacturer produces them too quickly and they are made improperly to adequately protect the public.  If this is the case, you certainly need to know, and a lawyer can help to investigate which automobile makers are not following through on protecting their customers.  If you are involved in an SUV accident, be sure to find out if you are able to collect any sort of compensation by contacting an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
