Rollover Accident Lawyer in St. Louis
When an individual is injured as a result of recklessness or negligence on the part of another, this may be cause for a personal injury suit. In the case of a rollover accident it is important to have an experienced car accident lawyer to investigate on behalf of the victims to determine where the responsibility lies. SUVs are advertized as being safe and tough. As a result many people buy an SUV believing they and their passengers will be safer than in a regular automobile. Approximately 33% of all passenger vehicle fatalities are the result of SUV rollovers and over 15% of automobile fatalities result from rollovers.
A rollover occurs when a vehicle's center of gravity is overset by being tipped too far in one direction so the weight of the upper body causes the vehicle to roll over rather than returning to its' normal position. Although SUV manufacturers and dealers are aware of this many do not inform buyers of this hazard or to take precautions when driving. At Cagle Law Firm we advocate for maximum compensation for our clients who are injured in rollover accidents in product liability cases as well as injury accidents caused by another driver.
