West Palm Beach Rollover Car Crash Accident Attorneys
When you are in an auto accident, you have little time, if any, to react or prepare yourself for the impact. In these instances, you have no choice but to rely on the safety of your vehicle to protect you and your passengers. If your vehicle fails to provide that safety, the resulting injuries can be life changing and often fatal.
When vehicles fail to provide adequate safety, it can often imply a design defect that could make the manufacturer liable for the victims' injuries. One design defect that has been a persistent issue for many years is roof collapse in rollover accidents, particularly in SUVs. If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury in a rollover accident, you have the right to seek damages from the manufacturer.
Our team was pleased to help the parents of a 19-year-old college student tragically killed in a vehicle rollover accident win a $10 million jury verdict. While driving home from college, the Florida State University student swerved to avoid a car that had come into her lane. Unfortunately, the student's 1995 Kia Sportage sport utility vehicle flipped over six times. The victim, who was wearing her seat belt, died of head injuries. The jury agreed with plaintiffs that the Kia Sportage was negligently designed. Indeed, the jury found that several design defects contributed to the co-ed's death, including instability, roof collapse, and a faulty windshield that popped out during the rollover.
