North Carolina SUV Accident Attorneys

For a time, SUVs (sports utility vehicles) were the most popular cars in the country. Though their popularity at time of purchase has faltered slightly due to high gas prices and the economic crisis, there are still millions of SUVs on American roads. Lots of SUVs unfortunately means lots of accidents – especially given well-known design flaws that lead to thousands of SUV accidents and around 5,000 fatalities every year. Read on for more information on SUV accidents and their dangers.

Why are SUVs so dangerous? For one, they were not properly designed. Despite their immense popularity, these vehicles lack necessary safety components that ensure proper crashworthiness. For example, many SUVs lack safety features like roll bars. When roll bars are not present, the roofs of crashing SUVs crumple, endangering the lives of passengers and failing to ensure their safety. This is doubly unfortunate when you look at the increased rollover potential of SUVs – the vehicles are three times more likely to roll over in single-vehicle accidents, and over 60% of all SUV accidents involve some kind of rollover.

Though the design flaws of SUVs have been widely publicized due to recalls and investigations, the public still mistakenly relies on SUVs as "safer" than other motor vehicles. This misunderstanding can lead to catastrophic injury ranging from brain injuries to lacerations to disfigurement to paralysis and lifelong disability. Despite these setbacks, victims can take negligent motor vehicle manufacturers to task, filing lawsuits in civil court and seeking compensation for the pain and suffering and expensive medical bills that accompany an SUV accident. Victims everywhere are filing these suits in the hopes of awakening public sentiment and holding motor vehicle companies accountable for manufacturing and selling dangerous SUVs.
