Chevy S10 Pickup Truck Rollover Accidents |
|
| The national law firm
of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP,
represents victims of rollover accidents and other
vehicle crashes in personal injury lawsuits. If

| In 2005, the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety issued a report finding
that the Chevrolet S10 trucks made between 1999
and 2002 had the second highest rate of driver
death of the 48 pickup truck models that were part
of the study, while the Chevy S10 extended cab
had the eighth highest rate. |
| A rollover crash can
happen in any type of vehicle. Pickup trucks
and SUVs, however, are not as safe as many
consumers believe because they ride higher
from the ground than passenger cars. This makes
pickups and SUVs more likely to roll over in
a crash. |
| When rollover accidents
occur, they are often fatal. In 2002, sixty-one
percent of all occupant fatalities in sport
utility vehicles (SUVs) and 45 percent of pickup
truck deaths were the result of a rollover
crash. By comparison, only 22 percent of passenger
car fatalities in 2002 were the result of a
rollover crash. |
