Florida Rollover Accidents Are Some of the Deadliest

The Honda Pilot, Kia Sorento, GMC Torrain and Ford Escape are among the many popular sport utility vehicles (SUVs) on the market today. A high number of consumers have been purchasing SUVs, like these, to be used as family cars. While SUVs provide a lot of great benefits, these vehicles come with some grave dangers.

SUV rollovers claim countless lives each year. Because these vehicles are tall and narrow, the risk of a Florida rollover accident is significant. SUVs are three times more likely to rollover than the average passenger cars. Rollovers are some of the most deadly types of accidents.

If you drive an SUV, here are some things you need to be aware of:

  1. SUVs have a high center of gravity and narrow track width, which is one of the biggest factors in evaluating the rollover risk. With a high center of gravity, SUVs become top heavy, making them more prone to rollovers.
  2. The chances of a rollover accident go up with weight. Many experts believe that contrary to the common mentality, added weight can actually increase the odds of a rollover.
  3. The removal of the roll bars has made SUV rollover accidents even more dangerous. Initially, SUVs were manufactured with roll bars, since the vehicles were used for off-roading. However, now that these vehicles have turned into family cars, the roll bars have been removed.
  4. Rollover accidents can occur during routine driving maneuvers. You don’t have to be speeding or driving recklessly to cause a deadly rollover accident. Simply negotiating a curve can cause your SUV to flip over.

A Florida rollover accident can be deadly. If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt in a rollover accident, you should talk with an experienced Palm Beach auto accident attorney who will be able to explain your legal options.
