Chevrolet Passenger Vehicle Rollover & Roof Failure

Chevrolet SUVs such as the Tahoe, Tracker, Blazer, Colorado,Trailblazer and even the Suburban are not immune from rollovers with massive roof failure or roof crush. Many popular Chevy passenger cars such as the Malibu, Cobalt, Impala, Cavalier, Monte Carlo, Equinox and even the Spark when faced with a rollover can experience roof failure, weld failures and roof pillar collapse into the interior "safe" of the passengers. When confronted with a sudden braking, avoidance, oversteer or a loss of control from a tire blowout or tread separation, the passenger car driver can often lose control and roll over on the highway resulting in roof crush failure or door opening, airbag failures, seatbelt not protecting the passengers causing severe injuries, full or partial ejections, closed head injuries, spinal cord injuries and even death. If you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a Chevy rollover involving a passenger car, truck SUV or van then call and get experienced legal help. Don't delay.

Designing vehicles with stronger roofs padded or cushioned interiors, airbags, side curtain airbags, better seatbelts, but the best device has been the addition of the  Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or rollover computer to help prevent vehicles from losing control and rolling over in the first place.

Injuries from a rollover type of roof crush are usually severe and often fatal. When the roof crushes the occupant's head and spinal cord are the first to be impacted and loaded resulting in closed head injuries, paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, suffocation, amputations & deaths. 

Roof crush failures can be mild to severe. There are four main types of roof crush deformations patterns:

• Cathedral Roof Collapse
  
• Shearing - Sideway Movement
  
• M Shaped & FMVSS216 Test
  

Each of these collapses present different types of potential injuries.
