Every year in the United States there are an estimated 10,000 fatalities that occur from sports utility rollover accidents. Rollovers cause an estimated 60% of all fatalities associated with Sports Utility Vehicle (SUVs) crashes every year. There has been intense criticism against the manufacturers of SUVs for not improving safety conditions on one of the most popular types of automobiles driven in the US today.

In 2003 Jeffrey Runge, the nation's top auto safety regulator and head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), astounded the industry when he criticized SUV safety. Concerned with SUV rollover deaths and injuries, Runge spoke candidly about SUV rollover trends and the lack of steps manufacturers are taking to make SUVs safer.

With all we know about the dangers of SUV rollovers today there is still little being done by car manufacturers to prevent serious danger from occurring. If you have been injured in a rollover accident please contact an SUV rollover attorney today.
