SUV rollover accidents are not the most common on the road, but they tend to be the deadliest risk for SUV drivers and passengers. In 2003, 35.7 percent of fatal SUV crashes involved a rollover. By contrast, in that same year, 15.8 percent of fatal passenger accidents involved a rollover.

When a vehicle rolls over, the roof may crush, which could result in a fatal head injury. An occupant could be ejected from the vehicle during a rollover. This might occur if the windows become weak and break under the pressure of the rollover.
An SUV needs to have strong supports, or roll bars, to keep the integrity of the roof intact in the case of a rollover.
Rollover accidents are related to a vehicle's stability when making turns. SUVs tend to have high centers of gravity, which decrease their stability.
Car manufacturers can prevent, or minimize, rollover injuries through proper engineering and design. If you or a loved one was injured in a rollover accident, you deserve justice.
