In recent years, there has been much controversy surrounding the safety of sport utility vehicles across the United States. The makers of many SUV's and other vehicles have been involved in litigation for the injuries and fatalities caused by the dangerous and defective SUV's they manufacture. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 10,000 people lost their lives as the result of rollover accidents in the U.S. last year alone.

Although the advertisements show these vehicles driven on all types of terrain, be it snowy roads or mountainous regions, they are not necessarily designed or built to do so. SUV's have a high center of gravity that places the vehicle at a greater risk for rollovers during certain steering maneuvers. Rollover accidents may cause the vehicle to flip over and in some cases cause the roof to cave in or passengers to be ejected from the vehicle. All of these scenarios place the accident victims at risk for serious bodily injuries, including brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, and death.

The following are recent SUV accident statistics for the United States:

• 63% of all fatalities that result from rollover accidents are caused by drivers and passengers being ejected from the vehicle.
• Over 90% of all vehicle rollover crashes are single vehicle accidents.
• Over 80% of rollover crash fatalities are caused by single vehicle accidents.
• More than 50% of all single vehicle fatalities are caused by rollover accidents.
• Approximately ½ of all SUV accident fatalities are due to rollovers.
