3 Rollover Safety Feature Failures You Should Know About

Rollover accidents can occur in a flash, throwing motorists inside the vehicle into a violent, chaotic spin. To protect passengers in the event of a rollover accident, many vehicles are equipped with certain safety features that should either prevent passengers from suffering injuries, or in some instances, keep a rollover accident from happening at all.

When these safety features are defective, motorists can suffer from a variety of devastating injuries. If you were injured in an SUV rollover accident, you may be able to take legal action against the car manufacturer responsible for the pain and suffering you are experiencing. Not only can you take action if the vehicle itself was unsafe in its design or manufacturing, but you may also be able to take action if any of the following safety features are defective:

#1: Roll Cages or Roll Bars

Many vehicles with open tops are equipped with special parts known as roll bars or, if installed by the vehicle owner, roll cages. These pieces of equipment are meant to protect motorists’ heads in the event of a rollover accident by preventing a devastating roof collapse. A failure with these features can prove catastrophic.

#2: Electronic Stability Control

Over the past few years, SUV rollover accidents have become significantly less common. This is in large part because of advancements in electronic stability control. However, a failure in a vehicle’s electronic stability system can result in a driver losing control over their vehicle should their vehicle begins to tip over.

#3: Air Bags and Seat Belts

Common safety features like air bags and seat belts can greatly help reduce injuries in the event of a rollover accident. However, if these features fail, motorist involved in a rollover can be severely injured due to excessive trauma.
