Minnesota SUV Rollover Accident Injury Lawyers / Rollover Accident Attorneys
Our experienced personal injury attorneys can help after an SUV rollover accident
Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have a high center of gravity over a relatively narrow wheelbase, making SUV rollovers more likely than other types of rollover accidents. If you’ve been the victim of an SUV rollover accident caused by tire failure, another form of product liability, or because of someone else’s recklessness, the personal injury attorneys at Sieben, Grose, Von Holtum & Carey can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Whatever the cause of your sports utility vehicle accident, you need protection
Risky driving is the primary cause of SUV rollover accidents. However tire failures and other defects attributed to product liability have caused death or injury to thousands of Minnesotans in sports utility vehicle, 15-passenger van and other car accidents. Victims have rights after an SUV rollover accident no matter what the cause:
Proper treatment after your SUV rollover accident is the top priority
Rollover accidents involving sports utility vehicles and 15-passenger vans can cause serious injuries to everyone involved. Innocent victims deserve compensation for injuries that will require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, such as:
Driving a sports utility vehicle may increase your risk of injury
Minnesotans love sports utility vehicles, and that won’t change any time soon. SUVs have become increasingly popular among teenagers whose inexperience and risk taking, coupled with the tipsy tendencies of the SUV, can prove deadly. And, a federal tax break called the “Section 179 depreciation deduction” rewards small business owners who purchase new or pre-owned SUVs, trucks, 15-passenger vans, and other “heavy” vehicles and use them for business purposes at least 50 percent of the time.
Since 2001, the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration (NHTSA) has been including rollover-potential ratings with its front and side crash test data. This helps consumers make the best possible purchasing decisions and prevent unnecessary rollover accidents.
Hundreds of other articles and publications are also available on the Web or you can learn more about the safety of sports utility vehicles on PBS Frontline’s award-winning news documentary "Rollover - The Hidden Story of the SUV."
