Have you been injured or a loved one killed in an SUV rollover accident? You may be entitled to sue the manufacturer for your injuries or your loved one’s death. SUVs are built on truck chasis and have a high center of gravity, which makes them prone to roll over, especially in a sharp turn to avoid an accident, an animal, or other obstacle.
This is called a “products liability” lawsuit, because the product (i.e., the SUV) is negligently designed and constructed. You are entitled to recover all of your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of or impairment to a limb, andother injuries you suffered in the rollover.
If you have been injured in an SUV rollover accident, you should contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. The lawyer must begin his or her investigation of the events leading up to the rollover as soon as possible, get the SUV inspected before crucial evidence is lost, make sure that evidence is properly preserved and help you get the medical attention you need and deserve.
