Rollover Litigation/Tire Separation

One in every four new vehicles sold in America today is an SUV. Some SUVs, however, have a serious safety problem - an unacceptable tendency to roll over. More than 12,000 people have died in SUV rollovers since they were first introduced in the 1980s. The government largely ignored the problem until the much publicized deaths and injuries related to faulty Firestone tires mounted on Ford Explorers in 2000. Nearly forty times as many people have died in SUV accidents unrelated to tire failure. There is overwhelming evidence that some vehicles have a higher risk of rollover then others. All else equal, vehicles with a high center of gravity and narrow wheel base will roll more often. Rollovers typically involve peak forces that are less than the forces involved in frontal impacts because the forces are distributed over a much longer period of time as the vehicle rolls and decelerates. As a result, manufacturers can protect occupants during rollovers, but many fail to provide even minimal protections because of increase costs.
