SUV Accidents

Boca Raton SUV Accident Lawyer

Did you know that sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales could make up 50% of the total U.S. sales this year? Part of the reason SUVs are so popular is due to their perceived safety benefits. In fact, the Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) states that 40% of Americans believe that SUVs are more secure than conventional vehicles.

But the truth is, SUVs roll over considerably more often than other cars. When you look at all the SUV deaths occurring in an SUV, 42 percent of the fatalities are due to rollovers, compared to just 20 percent for standard cars. If you or someone close to you is injured in an accident involving an SUV, it’s a good idea to contact a Boca Raton SUV accident attorney to discover your rights and get answers to your questions.

What Causes SUV Accidents?

Obviously, many SUV accidents are a result of driver error. Additionally, some SUVs have serious design flaws. This is especially true for the Ford Explorer, Bronco SUVs, and other vehicles that were originally designed for off-road operation. Some of these vehicles have issue recall orders.

These design flaws compound the elements of an SUV that lead to rollovers, namely, a high center of gravity, a narrow wheelbase, and elevated suspensions. When an SUV driver is forced to make a sudden move at a moderate or fast speed, the odds of rolling the SUV increase dramatically.

Injuries from SUV Rollovers

Injuries suffered during an SUV accident can range from cuts and bruises to paralysis and even death. When a person suffers a severe injury, they may be entitled to receive compensation for damages, including:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost Wages
  • Loss or reduction of future earnings potential
  • Disfigurement
  • Mental disability
  • Emotional disability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of joy
  • Loss of friendship, love, and companionship
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Property loss
  • Wrongful death

We realize that although no amount of payment can truly compensate for an injury or loss, the law allows for monetary compensation to be awarded. An injured person is entitled to compensation whenever they can prove that another party’s negligence caused them harm or injury.

How much compensation is the victim entitled to? The amount they can recover is decided in one of two ways. First, the attorney for the injured party can negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company. If the two sides cannot reach a deal, then the case would go to a court trial, and jurors would determine any possible award amount.
