Ford Explorer Rollover Injury


    The Ford Explorer is a well known SUV in today’s market.  Unfortunately, it has also become known for rollovers resulting in serious injury and/or death. The combination of a high center of gravity and a short wheelbase makes the threat of rollovers in these vehicles a very real danger in some driving situations.




Here are some interesting statistics from the from NHTSA (http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/) regarding rollovers:

  • Statistics prove that wearing a safety belt has the greatest effect on reducing the chance of fatality—occupants are 75% less likely to be killed in a rollover crash if they are wearing them.  Safety belt use has an even greater effect on reducing the deadliness of rollover crashes than on other crashes because so many victims of rollover crashes die as a result of being partially or completely thrown from the vehicle.

  • 45 percent of car occupant fatalities in single-vehicle crashes involve rollover, compared to 60 percent for pickup trucks, 65 percent for vans, and 79 percent for sport utility vehicles (SUVs).

  • 16 percent of light vehicles in police-reported single-vehicle crashes rolled over. The estimated risk of rollover differs by vehicle type: 13 percent of cars and 14 percent of vans in police-reported single-vehicle crashes rolled over, compared to 24 percent of pickup trucks and 30 percent of SUVs

  • SUVs were involved in 1,331,000 accidents in 2002. Out of these accidents 64,000 resulted in an SUV that had actually rolled over.

  • Rollovers accounted for 3% of accidents in 2002 however SUV rollovers accounted for nearly 33% of all deaths from passenger vehicle crashes.  In 2002 alone, more than 10,000 people died in rollover crashes.

If you or a loved one has been involved in rollover, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.
