Thoughts on rollover accidents and defects in certain trucks

The deceased’s family deserves to know if a defect in the vehicle caused their loved one’s fatal injuries. Recurring defects in these types of trucks include roofs crushing occupants ( structure could not withstand the impact of a rollover), seatbelts that come unlatched or fail to restrain, and airbags that do not deploy or activate.

Manufacturers have a duty to produce vehicles that protect occupants in rollover accidents. They must be held responsible when this does not happen.

An investigation by trained professionals may provide additional insight into the accident and whether the manufacturer of the truck is responsible for a loss of life.
