Tampa SUV Accident Attorney

How We Approach SUV Roller Cases

SUV rollover cases demand a detailed, evidence-driven approach because they don’t cause simple accident claims. Instead, such cases often involve complex engineering issues, corporate liability, and expert testimony.

At Stallworth Law, we help by:

• Investigating the circumstances of the crash, including vehicle design, road conditions, and contributing factors
• Working with engineers and product safety experts to analyze the SUV’s stability, rollover resistance, and crashworthiness
• Identifying all liable parties, whether it’s the vehicle manufacturer, parts supplier, or another responsible party
• Attempting to negotiate with automakers and their insurance companies, aggressively pursuing the compensation you deserve
• Preparing every case for trial, if a fair settlement isn’t offered, and litigating in court

Why Are SUVs More Prone to Rollovers?

While SUVs are built for versatility and space, their design makes them inherently less stable than passenger cars. SUVs have a higher center of gravity than sedans, increasing the likelihood of tipping during sharp turns or sudden maneuvers. They also have a narrower track width compared to height, leading to decreased lateral stability, and some have roof structures that are prone to crumpling in a rollover.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

• SUVs are two to three times more likely to be involved in a fatal rollover accident compared to passenger cars.
• Rollover accidents account for more than 30% of all occupant fatalities in passenger vehicle crashes.

The statistics highlight the serious dangers SUVs pose, especially when manufacturers fail to design vehicles with rollover risks in mind.

Understanding Your Legal Rights in SUV Defect & Rollover Cases

SUV rollover injury cases typically fall under product liability law, which holds manufacturers strictly liable when their products cause harm due to defects or dangerous designs. Unlike typical negligence claims, product liability does not always require proving the manufacturer’s intent or negligence. It can be enough to show the product was defective and caused injury.

Types of product liability claims for SUV accidents can include:

• Design defects that are inherent flaws in the vehicle’s design that make it unreasonably dangerous
• Manufacturing defects that are errors during production that compromise the vehicle’s safety
• Marketing defects, like when a manufacturer fails to inform consumers of known risks

To succeed in a claim, you must prove the defect existed, the vehicle was being used as intended, and the defect directly caused your injuries. At Stallworth Law, we have the resources and insight to prepare strong, evidence-backed cases that bring the legal fight to automakers and any other party that could be liable for your injuries.
