Road Defects and Rollover Accidents

Certain road defects may lend themselves to causing drivers to lose control of their vehicles, putting them at risk for rolling over. Although these road defects may increase the likelihood of a rollover, the design of the vehicles themselves may still be to blame for dangerous rollover accidents.

Road defects alone typically do not cause vehicles to roll over. If you or someone you love suffered injuries in a rollover accident, you may be able to hold the vehicle manufacturer accountable under the law. For more information, contact the SUV rollover lawyers of The Willis Law Firm today at 800-883-9858.

Dangerous Defects

Some road defects can directly affect the way certain vehicles operate, putting drivers at greater risk for being involved in rollover accidents. These particular road defects may include:

  • Potholes
  • Missing guardrails
  • Uneven pavement
  • Shoulder drop-off

If a vehicle is designed in an unsafe manner, these road defects may increase the chance of a dangerous vehicle rollover accident. This is particularly true of sports utility vehicles, which may become unstable after hitting a pothole or shoulder drop-off because of their high centers of gravity.

When an individual is injured in a rollover accident resulting from a road defect, he or she may be entitled to financial compensation from the vehicle’s manufacturer.
