Hi I'm Indiana personal injury attorney David Holub.
What exactly is a roof crush case? Good question. Auto manufacturers have an obligation to comply with safety standards when they manufacture and sell vehicles. Not all standards apply to all vehicles.
Roof crush cases focus on whether a particular vehicle was designed and made to withstand the crushing in of the vehicle roof during a rollover type collision. Typically, this type of rollover case involves an SUV or a pickup truck. Engineers and crash investigators need to compare the regulations that apply to the strength of the roof on a damaged vehicle to see if the vehicle was designed and made in compliance with such regulations. Typically, the regulations being reviewed are similar to regulations that deal front impact, side impact, and corner impact which are used to test vehicle crashworthiness.
These cases are difficult sometimes to prove. Attorneys need to review automotive design and testing records. A key question is whether the manufactured tested its design. In some situations, attorneys have found that a car maker was aware of a safe design, but rejected the safe design because it cost more to build. Frequently addressed in automotive design based products liability case, are questions about how all the vehicle components perform during a crash. For example, did a seat in the vehicle break free from the bolts holding it to the frame during a crash? If so, did the car maker purposefully decide to cut corners on safety? Does such cost cutting account for the injuries suffered?
