Sport Utility Vehicles and Rollovers
American motorists have developed an affinity for sport utility vehicles over the last decade, making these vehicles some of the most popular on the road. However, these vehicles are not safe in all situations. In particular, the design of SUVs makes them more likely to roll over than other vehicles in certain situations, such as taking sharp turns.

SUV Rollover Accidents
Sport utility vehicles are designed with a few goals in mind, including providing significant cargo space and increased off-road capabilities. In addition, buyers of SUVs often cite the safety benefits of these larger vehicles in the event of a collision. However, when taking sharp turns or when involved in a T-bone collision, these vehicles may be more likely to tip over than smaller vehicles. Rollover accidents can cause devastating injuries for those trapped inside the vehicle at the time of the incident.
The following problems can contribute to a rollover accident in SUVs:
- Narrow distance between the wheels
- Heightened center of gravity
- Tire blowouts and other defects
- Failures with computer traction and stability systems
