Ammons Law Firm Files F250 Roof Crush Case In Arkansas

The 60-year-old driver of a 2003 Ford F250 was operating his vehicle on an interstate in Westfork, Arkansas when the roadway suddenly became exceptionally slick. The F250 skidded off the interstate and rolled over. The driver sustained head and spinal cord injuries from which he died five days later.

In the lawsuit brought against Ford on behalf of the man’s estate, Rob Ammons claims the F250 is not crashworthy in foreseeable rollovers because of defective rollover protection and occupant containment components and systems. Specifically, it is alleged by Ammons that the F250’s weak roof collapsed over the driver’s seat, that the driver’s door opened unintentionally, and that the seat belt allowed for excessive movement of the driver away from his seat in this rollover, resulting in his partial ejection from the vehicle and his mortal injuries.

It is also alleged in the lawsuit that Ford was negligent with respect to the design of the F250’s defective rollover protection and containment systems as well as in failing to conduct dynamic rollover testing of the vehicle in order to properly assess the performance of such systems in foreseeable real-world rollovers.
