Your SUV May Have Caused More Injuries Than It Prevented
People often buy sport utility vehicles (SUVs) because they want to protect their families. They are told that SUVs are safer — that because they are larger, they can better withstand the impact of a crash. SUV manufacturers sell customers on this idea, and many people do feel safe in SUVs.
So, it can be especially devastating when SUV accidents lead to a serious personal injury and wrongful death. Many people wonder how the accident could have happened in vehicle that was supposedly safe. They don't understand what went wrong and look to the legal system for answers.
Las Vegas SUV Rollover Accident Lawyer
At Eglet Wall, our investigations often reveal that there are many things about various makes and models of SUVs that actually make them more dangerous than other, smaller vehicles. For example, SUV's higher centers of gravity make them more prone to roll in a crash. When SUVs flip in a rollover accident, the roof design is not always strong enough to withstand the impact, so it crushes in and injures the driver and passengers inside.
Our Las Vegas law firm has the capacity to handle these complex cases. Not only do we hold negligent drivers accountable for actions that lead to crashes, but we hold product manufacturers and distributors accountable too. By filing product defect cases in courts throughout Nevada, we make manufacturers pay for SUV design defects that injure people.
In the past, we have handled SUV product defect cases related to Firestone Tires on SUVs including the Ford Explorer. This high-profile litigation caught national media attention when it was discovered that manufacturer knew about frequent tire failure on the vehicle, but took actions to hide this information from consumers.
