Vehicle Rollovers

Rollover Accident Attorney serving San Bernardino, Upland, Pomona, Ontario, and Rancho Cucamonga

Vehicle crashworthiness standards are set to ensure that the vehicles placed on the market and on the roads have structures capable of withstanding major collisions with other vehicles. When a vehicle rolls over in a crash, the vehicle roof and support pillars need to be capable of protecting the driver and passengers.

At the Law Office of Brian Brandt, we represent clients in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits arising from vehicle rollover accidents. We hold negligent manufacturers responsible for the injuries and fatalities caused by defective car parts. Contact our Upland personal injury law firm to discuss your case.

Rollover accidents often involve manufacturing defects or other defective products:

• Roof crush: In rollover accidents, the greatest impact is often on the roof. If the vehicle has a defective design which weakens the roof structure, the roof may cave in, crushing the passengers. Too often, the impact with the roof causes traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries.
• SUV wheel base: Several recent vehicle recalls have been related to the wheel base of SUVs which are too narrow for the height of the vehicle. This alters the center of gravity for the vehicle resulting in vehicle instability. As a result, the vehicle is more susceptible to rollover accidents.
• Tire defects: Rollover accidents can also be caused by defective tires. For example, in certain Ford vehicles with Michelin tires, a defect in the tires caused the tread to spread which contributed to an increase in rollover accidents.

Recovering What is Left of Your Life

We work with tire experts design experts, engineers, and other experts to determine if defective products caused the car accident or contributed to the injuries after the vehicle rolled over. In addition, we work with economists, life care planners, home health care experts and other specialists to determine the current and future needs of injured clients so that we may pursue full, rightful compensation on their behalf.
