Rollover accidents are some of the most traumatic our Missouri injury lawyers work on.  Rollovers are survivable IF vehicles provide the minimal occupant protection.  Rollover crashworthiness focus on a vehicle's ability to protect occupants and maintain the structure of the automobile.  When occupants are seriously injured or killed, the proceeding investigation is absolutely critical.  The standard in Missouri for finding liability against the vehicle manufacturer is:

"Where the manufacturer's negligence in design causes an unreasonable risk to be imposed upon the user of its products, the manufacturer should be liable for the injury caused by its failure to exercise reasonable care in the design."

Missouri motorists injured in a rollover crash may have a viable products liability claim against the vehicle manufacturer if they can meet the abovementioned threshold of proof.  A new concern amongst regulators are the laws protecting consumers involved in vehicle rollover cases where the car's weak rook structure is to blame for the occupant injuries.  Unfortunately for consumers, and despite meeting current federal safety standards, the roofs of every vehicle sold in North America today are not strong enough to protect occupants in most rollovers.
