Vehicle Roof Crush
A YOUNG PLUMAS COUNTY WOMAN DRIVING AN UNFAMILIAR MOUNTAIN ROAD LOST CONTROL SO HER PICKUP ROLLED OVER ONE TIME THE ROOF COLLAPSED, AND SHE WAS KILLED. THE DEFENSE CLAIMED THAT “ACCIDENTS HAPPEN,” AND YOU CAN’T PREVENT ROOFS FROM CRUSHING OCCUPANTS. WE PROVED THAT AMERICAN CARS BUILT TO BE SOLD IN EUROPE ARE MADE DIFFERENTLY SO THE ROOFS DO NOT CRUSH OCCUPANTS. IN AMERICA, ROLLOVERS ARE 4% OF VEHICLE ACCIDENTS BUT RESULT IN 1/3 OF VEHICLE DEATHS. THE CASE WAS SETTLED IN FAVOR OF HER FAMILY FOR $850,000.
