Mitsubishi SUV Rollover Lawsuit: Why Mitsubishi Is Liable

When a deadly accident occurs, often police investigators or third parties blame the driver, even when the driver was belted, sober and driving prudently.

In many cases, the reason why a crash proves fatal is actually due to negligence by the SUV's manufacturer. It is important that you know why the SUV rolled over and your legal rights.

SUV Rollover Lawsuits Against Mitsubishi

Injured drivers and passengers have filed lawsuits against Mitsubishi for defects in its Montero, Montero Sport, Endeavor and Outlander SUVs. The lawsuits have charged that the Mitsubishi SUVs are too narrow and tall, elevating the center of gravity and increasing the risk of rolling over.

Moreover, the lawsuits have alleged that certain models of Mitsubishi SUVs lacked:

• sufficient roof strength. As a result, the roof collapsed causing massive head, spine and back injuries.
• advanced traction technology. Mitsubishi developed electronic stability control (ESC) in the 1990s. This technology enables better traction on slippery surfaces or during cornering. However, Mitsubishi did not make ESC standard equipment on all its SUVs until 2008. See whether your Mitsubishi SUV has ESC.
