Boston SUV Rollover Lawyers
When it comes to the highest rates of auto accident related deaths, SUVs are topping the charts.
More deaths occur because of SUV rollover accidents than any other type of vehicle. Sports utility vehicles are three times more likely to experience a rollover in an accident than a standard four-passenger car is because of their height and weight. Despite passing government mandated testing for safety, there is no denying that SUVs are more dangerous than any standard car on the market.
A SUV rollover is most likely to occur after the vehicle runs off the road. This is not the same as when the vehicle is negotiating rough terrain; it is when the driver loses control. Something then “trips the car”, like a shoulder, soft ground or a curb, and the SUV begins to roll over.
Thomas M. Kiley and his legal team at Kiley Law Group in Massachusetts would like you to know that you may be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one were injured or even killed in an SUV rollover. Nearly 11,000 people in the United States lost their lives because the sports utility vehicle they were traveling in experienced a rollover.
Why should the financial burden be placed on you?
More and more, people are looking to purchase SUVs to meet their transportation needs, unaware at just how unsafe these automobiles really are. Because they tend to roll in accidents, they need to have exceptional roof reinforcements to stop unnecessary injuries or wrongful death. Many models do not have the design enhancements for protection that they need.
In a recent report, NONE of the SUVs on the market had earned the government's highest safety rating!
