Roof Crush Lawyer

In the event of a rollover accident, drivers and passengers inside a vehicle may suffer serious injuries or death if the vehicle’s roof collapses. If the structures supporting the vehicle’s roof (known as roof pillars) give way during the accident or if the roof is crushed as the vehicle rolls over, persons inside the vehicle may suffer serious harm.

Persons who have been hurt because of a roof crush or roof collapse during a rollover accident may be forced to deal with lasting pain, long-term disabilities, and medical expenses. Such accidents may be caused by faulty vehicle design, improper materials, and failure to properly test the stability of roof pillars. If you or someone you love has been hurt because of a crushed roof or a roof collapse, contact the SUV roof crush lawyers of the Willis Law Firm at 800-883-9858 today.

Roof Crush/Roof Collapse

During a rollover accident, the roof may be crushed or the pillars may collapse, causing serious harm to the individuals inside. Roof collapse accidents may be caused by:

  • Roof pillar failure
  • Defective roof materials
  • Faulty vehicle design or roof pillar placement
  • Intrusion of the roof into the occupants’ space

It is essential that vehicle manufacturers properly design, test, and build roofs and roof support systems that are able to withstand rollover accidents and are able to protect a vehicle’s occupants.

Other Roof injuries

It is important to note that individuals may also be seriously hurt or killed if they strike the vehicle’s roof during a rollover-accident, even if the roof does not collapse during the crash. Injuries may be caused by:

  • Seatbelt failure
  • Inertia buckle release
  • Latch failure on seatbelts
  • Car seat failure
  • Improper roof or seat design

If a vehicle’s safety restraints fail to operate in the intended manner, the persons inside the vehicle may be seriously injured if a rollover accident occurs.
