   The Dodge Ram pickup is one of the top selling truck in the Chrysler Dodge Line. The Dodge Ram Trucks sadly aren't ram tough like the TV ads would indicate. The roofs on the Ram pickup due to the weight of the truck  and th weakness of the metal and the design often will collapse and fail to withstand a rollover accident without collapsing.  Such roof failures can cause serious closed head injuries, blunt trauma to the chest, spinal cord injuries and death. Newer Ram trucks with improved airbags and electronic stability control (ESC) have reduced the numbers of rollovers, but the severity of the injuries are still ever present. If you or a loved one have been injured, call us now, as a vehicle & rollover accident scene Investigation is CRITICAL !
