Auto Rollover • SUV Rollovers • Ford-Firestone • Tractor Rollover
When a manufacturer is in a hurry to bring a new sport utility vehicle (SUV) to market, design mistakes can cause devastating accidents. The Ford Explorer, for example, was put on a platform designed for the Ford Bronco II. The result was a suspension system that simply did not work properly. The result for the people who drive and ride in these vehicles has been SUV rollover accidents, roof crush accidents, serious injuries, and wrongful death.
Unfortunately, many rollover accidents are the result of bad engineering and a rush to profits – not sharp turns or bad tires or other excuses. The lawyers at Langdon & Emison have faced SUV manufacturers in court, convinced juries of the design problems, and obtained substantial awards.
-
Did the tires fail? The tires may have had defects, but tire defects should not cause rollovers. Bad suspension does. When a tire fails, the driver should be able to pull over, not roll over.
- Why did the roof crush? Adding to the devastation of rollover accident injuries are roof crushes. In a well-designed SUV, the occupant space should remain intact. There should be sufficient greenhouse or survival space for the occupants.
