St. Louis SUV Rollover Lawyer

SUV Rollover Attorney in St. Louis

In single-vehicle accidents, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) roll most often after they go off a road into dirt or low-growing vegetation which catches their tires and causes them to flip. In other instances, the SUV flips because of a sharp turn, a pothole in the road, or bad weather conditions. The center of gravity for SUVs is higher, and therefore corrective steering in an emergency situation can more easily cause a rollover. If you or anyone important to you has been hurt in an SUV rollover, get in touch with a St. Louis personal injury attorney with the details of what occurred, including the year, make and model of the SUV. 

At the law offices of Meyerkord & Meyerkord, LLC, we know SUVs are fun sporting and muscle cars. They are also often family cars, used to carry anything from your kids and their cheerleading team to a full load of birthday party attendees, or even bringing your new college freshman with all his or her baggage to the airport. It can be vitally important if you or someone you love has been hurt by an SUV rollover. Our family team of legal professionals takes pride in bringing extensive legal experience as advocates for the rights of accident victims. We may be able to obtain compensation for those with SUV rollover injury claims.

Preventive Measures

There are several things recommended by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reduce the chances of rollover:

• Avoid any situation that could lead to losing control. This can include speeding, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or driving when fatigued.
• Avoid extreme, panic-driven steering. Should your SUV go off the road, reduce speed gradually and then gently ease back onto the road when it is safe to make that move.
• Maintain your tires and replace them whenever needed.
• Load your SUV properly. Heavy loads cause a vehicle to roll over more easily.
• Be careful on rural roads.
