SUV Accidents

What are some statistics about Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) accidents in the United States?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 25% of autos sold in the US are SUVs. In 2003, nearly 4,500 people died in SUV crashes. SUVs are three times more likely to rollover in a collision than other cars are.

What is an SUV rollover?

An SUV rollover is just what it sounds – the vehicle literally flips over. Since SUVs tend to be larger and heavier than other passenger cars, you might find this somewhat paradoxical. The reason why this happens is that many SUVs have what's known as a high center of gravity. In other words, the average mass is concentrated at a higher point than the average mass of a standard sedan. This makes them easier to tip. Think of it from this perspective. Imagine if you tried to push over someone who is 5 foot 6 by pushing on his stomach. Chances are you would have a hard time. Now imagine trying to push over a 6 foot 3 man -- but instead of pushing on his stomach, you push on his head. It will be a lot easier to tip him over -- even though he is bigger.

Are all SUVs rollover risks?

Any vehicle on the road can theoretically be flipped. But different SUVs have very different centers of gravity and different safety features. Some SUVs - particularly models from the early 2000s -- may be particularly susceptible, while others are far safer.

What are some common SUV rollover injuries?

  • Spinal damage
  • Lacerations and contusions
  • Brain injuries
  • Severe whiplash
  • Death

If you were hurt in an SUV rollover accident, and you believe the manufacturer or designer of the vehicle or another person or party was responsible, what should you do?
