Roof Crush Accidents

Many Pennsylvania drivers and passengers that are involved in single vehicle or multi-vehicle rollover accidents are left with serious injuries. A roof crush injury can occur during a rollover crash when the automobile turns upside down. A roof crush accident can also happen when an object falls from a high altitude and strikes the roof of a car. Rollovers can occur in any type of vehicle, especially in SUVs.

If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in a Pennsylvania vehicle roof crush accident, one of our experienced defective auto parts liability lawyers at Reiff & Bily can explain your legal options during a free consultation.

Roof Crush Injuries and Accidents

Many motor vehicles lack the proper roof support or roll bars that are necessary to provide vehicle occupants with the proper protection during a rollover accident. A crushed roof will leave the driver and passengers with limited space in the vehicle, which could affect their chances of survival.

In 2005, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (Penn DOT) reports that passenger cars resulted in 5,326 rollover accidents and 169 rollover deaths.  Vehicle occupants can suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or other serious injuries. The motor vehicle manufacturer is responsible for making sure that cars and trucks meet proper safety requirements.
