Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

When it comes to rollovers in commercial vehicles, one factor I rarely see discussed is the integrity of the truck itself during the rollover. It’s a problem that gets too little attention that many trucks fail to withstand rollovers that they otherwise should be able to. As a result, drivers can be injured in accidents they should be able to walk away from without issue. Maybe nothing like that happened here, but it’s important to shed light on this possible issue whenever possible.
