What is a “Roll-Over” Accident?
Roll-over accidents can happen to any automobile but are more commonly associated with SUVs and large trailer trucks. They tend to happen when a driver turns a vehicle too quickly and the center of the vehicle’s gravity shifts. While there are many situations where a driver turned the wheel too quickly and their vehicle did not roll over, doing this can send a vehicle into a roll. If you or someone you care about has been involved in this kind of accident, call a successful roll-over accidents attorney at Cohen & Cohen today, to start the process of getting your questions about your particular situation answered.
Rollovers tend to be associated with SUVs and large trailer trucks. One of the reasons that SUVs get so much attention when it comes to roll-overs- in addition to the fact that they are a popular style of an automobile whose popularity continues increase and populate our roads- is because of their frame. An SUV’s height makes the SUV’s center of gravity higher from the ground than other vehicles and thus less stable.
Even though one suggested feature of SUV safety is to make sturdier and thus safer roofs, not much has been developed in this area of SUV safety. The roof of an SUV can be easily crushed during a roll-over accident because the roofs have not been built to withstand the kinds of impact that occurs during this type of accident.
