San Diego rollover accident lawyers at Estey & Bomberger have represented numerous rollover accident victims in product liability claims throughout the United States. If you have suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one in a San Diego rollover accident, an attorney at Estey & Bomberger can help you recover the monetary compensation you and your family are entitled to.

Rollover Accidents & Product Liability Issues

Many rollover accidents are attributable to flaws in the design of sport utility vehicles. Sport utility vehicles have a high center of gravity and narrow wheelbase, making them more prone to overturn when they come in contact with a curb, soft shoulder or when a tire blows out or suddenly deflates. A phenomenon called “roof crush” can be blamed for many rollover accident fatalities. When a vehicle overturns, if the vehicle’s roof is simply not strong enough to support its weight, it can crush occupants to death in an instant. In the future, the federal government will require vehicle manufacturers to make roofs strong enough to withstand pressure up to three times the curb weight of the vehicle. However, this does nothing to protect drivers of older vehicles already on the road. If an injury or death was caused by roof crush or defective design, victims of sport utility vehicle rollover accidents may be entitled to compensation for their injuries from the manufacturer of the vehicle that caused the accident. 

Ford Explorer Rollover Accidents

Hundreds of deaths have been attributed to faulty design in Ford Explorers, along with thousands of catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. More rollover accident fatalities occur in Ford Explorers than any other type of sport utility vehicle. As the fleet of Ford Explorers on the road get older, the number of these accidents will only increase. Ford has already paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to victims of Ford Explorer rollover crashes. If you have been hurt or lost a family member in an accident involving a Ford Explorer rollover, you may be entitled to compensation.

Rollover Accidents and Wrongful Death Claims

An estimated 10,000 people die every year in rollover crashes in the United States. Many fatalities are attributable to passenger ejection when an occupant is thrown from the vehicle during a rollover accident. If a defective design or defective auto part (such as tires or brakes) caused or contributed to a fatal rollover accident, family members may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit.
