Vehicle Roof Collapse
During a serious auto accident, particularly one that causes a rollover, the car’s frame is meant to protect the people inside the passenger compartment. Unfortunately, every year far too many people are seriously injured or killed when their vehicle’s roof collapses. Defective support beams can vastly increase the likelihood of collapse and unnecessary injury.
When defective manufacturing processes or materials are responsible for a person’s injury or death, the manufacturer may be held liable for damages. If you or someone you love has been injured as a result of a vehicle roof collapse, contact the Wisconsin car accident attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C. at 800-242-2874 to determine your legal options.
Effects of a Defective Roof
When a vehicle’s roof collapses during an accident, several dangerous consequences can follow:
- Roof intrusion into passenger cabin.
- Broken windows and windshields.
- Opening doors.
The result is a situation that is extremely dangerous for those inside the car. Serious neck and head injuries are likely, and these could even lead to paralysis or death. Doors opening as the roof crushes down can increase the risk of a person being ejected from the vehicle.
