Why Did Your Vehicle’s Roof Collapse in a Sarasota Rollover?

Most drivers don’t think twice about the roofs of their vehicles—not until they are in a serious Sarasota car accident in which their vehicle flips and lands on its roof. Sadly, a person in this situation can be seriously injured or killed in an instant if a roof collapses into the cabin of the vehicle. When pressure is put onto the roof, like it is in a rollover crash, a roof crush or roof collapse may occur, even though it is not supposed to happen.

A roof collapse may have been the result of one of the following:

• Weak or defective roof
• Collapse of vehicle’s cabin
• Defective or weak roof supports
• Poor roof construction
• Design or manufacturing defect

When a roof caves into the cabin of the car, wrongful death can occur or other injuries including:

• Broken bones
• Lower-cervical neck fractures
• Facial injuries
• TMJ injury (dislocated jaw)
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Loss of limbs (amputation)
• Disfigurement
• Head trauma
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Fatal injuries
