Year after year, motor vehicle rollovers continue to be one of the most fatal crash types in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) points out that 8,037 people were killed in single-vehicle rollover accidents in 2008.

In Florida, a primary cause of rollover accidents involves the driver running off the road and hitting soft soil or grass. Of all vehicle types, SUVs had the highest rollover involvement rate of any vehicle type in fatal crashes in 2008, accounting for roughly 33 percent of all rollover fatalities. As compared to SUVs, passenger cars are half as likely to be involved in a rollover accident.

With an involvement rate of over ten (10) percent, SUVs also had the highest injury rate in rollover crashes in 2008. Although this percentage may vary from year to year, SUV rollovers continually account for the highest injury and fatality rates of all vehicles on the road.

Although progress has been made to increase vehicle safety standards, the fact remains that thousands of people die in rollover accidents every year, and tens of thousands more are injured. Because of the severity of rollover crashes, vehicle occupants are more likely to sustain head, neck, and spine injuries, some of which can lead to permanent disability.
