At Robinson, Calcagnie & Robinson, our SUV accident attorneys have represented dozens of individuals injured in SUV rollovers over the last few decades. Our experienced roof crush and SUV rollover attorneys have authored articles in legal publications on the subject of dangerous and defective vehicle roofs and roof structures. Working with design engineers, crash investigators, accident reconstruction engineers, and automotive safety experts, we have been able to identify design flaws that contributed to rollovers, or which caused or enhanced serious injuries and deaths in rollover accidents. These have included occupant restraint system issues involving defective seat belts and seatbacks.

Holding the Big Auto Makers Liable

Toyota, General Motors, Nissan, Ford, Honda, Chrysler and other manufacturers routinely claim that they meet minimum federal standards for roof strength safety and therefore they should not be liable for injuries resulting from roof crush. They argue that there are no government standards requiring a manufacturer to conduct rollover testing. However, other manufacturers have for decades incorporated high strength pillars and roof designs which will absorb the forces involved in a typical rollover and still preserve the integrity of the passenger compartment. Consumer groups and safety experts have tested SUVs and offer recommendations for improving safety.
