SUV wrecks can be caused by all sorts of things. Many SUV are involved in rollover accidents. This is because of the top-heavy nature of most SUV’s. Because SUV’s typically have a high center of gravity, they are prone to flip or rollover during a crash.

An SUV rollover can occur in all different types of circumstances. A rollover crash can occur when the driver of an SUV makes a sharp turn, swerves to try to avoid an accident, when the roads are wet or slippery, or when the vehicle hits an object in the road such as a curb or median. This Broward County SUV Accident Attorney represents people in their rollover crashes which occurred to all different types of reasons.

Motor vehicles are supposed to be manufactured and designed to be “crashworthy” and to protect vehicle occupants in case of an accident. However, they are not always built this way. When an SUV flips or rolls over, disaster can occur when the vehicle’s roof caves in or experiences “roof crush.” When this happens, the heads of vehicle occupants can be impacted – which can lead to catastrophic injuries.

All sorts of injuries can result from an SUV crash. Because many SUV wrecks result in roll-overs, catastrophic injuries frequently result. These include fractured and broken necks, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, vegetative states, comas, brain injuries, brain bleeds, brain damage, and wrongful death.
