How Common Are Car Roof Crush Injuries?
The most common of roof crush injuries occurs in car accidents, specifically in rollover incidents. A rollover accident takes place when a vehicle is knocked over onto the side or on the roof of a car.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that an estimated 11,000 fatalities have come from vehicle roof rollover accidents. These types of roof crush accidents are due to a number of factors that can range from the weather to poor driving.
6 Reasons Why Rollover Accidents Occur:
In order to prevent roof crush injuries, 35 years ago, NHTSA adopted Rule 216 of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
In order to prevent roof crush injuries, the NHTSA adopted Rule 216 of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. NHTSA officials suggest updating the regulation with today's technology advancements, requiring roofs to withstand direct pressure of 2.5 times the vehicle weight.
This rule presents a major loophole for SUVs weighing over 5,000 pounds. Vehicles over 5,000 pounds are not affected by government regulation regarding their roofs. Automakers are free to design and build this class of vehicle without the safety standards normally associated with passenger vehicles.
It is the judgments and settlements wrongdoers have to pay that punish shortsighted companies who favor profit over lives and encourages them to prevent future damages by quashing irresponsible advertising, design and manufacturing. Bisnar Chase has held companies including General Motors, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler and Ford accountable and forced to them compensate victims who purchased SUVs and other vehicles that caused unnecessary deaths and injuries.
Bisnar Chase continues to fight for clients whose lives will never be restored through money alone, by holding the auto industry accountable for product liability encouraging vehicle design safety.
