Car accidents are sudden and fast, which can make their causes hard to determine. But one reason for a traffic accident can be clearly evident by its aftermath, and that is the manufacturing defect which leads to a rollover accident. Often involving an SUV, rollover accidents are among the most deadly on our roads, and the design flaws behind them certainly merit engaging an SUV rollover accident lawyer or attorney or a Texas car accident lawyer.

That's even more true today after the recent revelation that Toyota may have destroyed and suppressed evidence in SUV rollover lawsuits against Toyota. According to Dimitrios Biller, an ex corporate lawyer for Toyota who worked on rollover cases, the Japan-based automaker "made every effort" to quash investigations for several years by destroying data which should have been released to plaintiffs' attorneys in defective product lawsuits.

If it is found in Biller's own lawsuit against Toyota that the company destroyed or withheld evidence, that could spark the reopening of hundreds of rollover lawsuits against Toyota.

Meanwhile, SUVs -- or sport utility vehicles -- of all kinds remain on America's roads, where many of them pose potential rollover hazards even when driven in dry weather and on level surfaces. The SUV is simply designed improperly for avoiding such accidents, having a top-heavy body which tends to tip or roll over if a vehicle is struck or strikes another vehicle.

Further, SUVs tend to have weak roofs with little structural support. This leads to "roof crush" injuries and deaths. When the vehicle rolls over onto its roof, the roof often collapses, and the full weight of the vehicle caves in on the driver and passengers inside.

Jim Adler, founder of Texas personal injury law firm Jim S. Adler & Associates, sees it as his duty to help Americans who are injured through no fault of their own due to such defective products from manufacturers.

"Representing accident victims is a very, very serious business," Adler says, "and it has to be treated seriously and treated as important. We're not counting widgets here. We're dealing with real live, living, breathing human beings who need our help."

Indeed they do. In recent years, as the early popularity of SUVs blossomed, fully one-fourth of all American car accident fatalities involved an SUV rollover accident. This made rollovers the fastest-growing source of auto accident deaths.

While SUV sales have declined more recently, the fact that 25 per cent of all American auto sales for several years were for SUVs accounts for millions of such vehicles -- which are often unsafe by design -- still being driven on our streets and highways.
