Press Release Body: Things to learn about Hiring an Expert Vehicle Rollover Lawyer

Even in this modern age and our futuristic technology, car manufacturers still
haven?t invented a way for automobiles to be perfectly safe. We cannot dismiss the
fact that some vehicular accidents happen due to the negligence of the car
companies.

This is partly because in car designs nowadays, safety is no longer the first thing
in the minds of manufacturers. They tend to overlook some errors thus compromising
the safety of every passenger.

Even some prominent names in the car industry have made headlines due to being
involved in a number of car rollovers. Most cars that get into rollover accidents
are SUVs. They have a significantly higher chance to roll over compared to passenger
cars. This is because they are highly unstable and they have a higher center of
gravity.

SUV fatalities have already risen to an alarming rate of 11 percent in 2003 to 4,451
people. This is threatening to the public since many families use this type of
vehicle. SUVs have accounted for 25 percent of vehicle sales in 2004 reaching over
22 million.

Other facts and statistics on rollover accidents:

? Taller, narrower vehicles are more likely to rollover

? A person is 75% less likely to be killed in a car rollover if he or she is wearing
his/her seat belt

? Rollover crashes account for 33% of all passenger vehicle fatalities

? More than 10,000 people a year are killed in rollover crashes

It is very troubling that information about these accidents are withhold from the
consumers. Though rollover accidents only comprise 3 percent of vehicular accidents,
people should not risk their chances. Rare as they may be, rollover accidents
comprise a very high rate of causing severe injuries to passengers among vehicular
accidents.

Some Causes of Rollovers are:

? Vehicle-type- All types of vehicles can rollover but cars that have higher center
of gravity are more susceptible to rollover

? Speed ? Rollovers are speed-related

? Driving Under the Influence ? Impairment from alcohol intake can make more drivers
likely to lose control of their car

? Location ? Rural roads that do not have barriers or division are more likely to be
a scene of a rollover accident

Like other types of vehicular accidents, there also are lawyers who offer their
services and assistance to the drivers and families injured in rollover accidents.
Do not be afraid to seek their advice since you do deserve compensation for the
damages that the accident has caused you.

If you are in serious need of an expert and competent lawyer, you may able to find
one through the web. Of course, several law firms will appear. So make sure that you
seek only the best.

Hire a lawyer coming from a respected law firm and one who has the expertise of
handling personal injury cases and car accidents.
