Ford Expedition Rollover & Roof Crush Lawsuit

Ford Expedition was introduced in 1997 as a replacement for the Ford Bronco then later in 2005 a larger version based heavily on the F150 pickup truck using similar transmission, chassis systems, and electronics. Like the Ford F-150, many Expeditions are prone to rolling over at times due to its high center and stability problems inherent with SUVs. The Expedition with 3 rows of seats and capable of carrying up to 8 passengers along with luggage creates a rollover prone vehicle especially when a luggage / roof rack is used too. When a driver is faced with emergency braking or swerving situations, or from sudden tire blowout or tire tread separation, the driver can often lose control and flip over on the highway resulting in severe roof crush failure closed head and spinal cord injuries  If you or a loved one have been injured in a Ford Expedition Rollover call 1-800-468-4878

Designing vehicles with stronger roofs padded or cushioned interiors, airbags, side curtain airbags, better seatbelts, but the best device has been the addition of the  Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or rollover computer to help prevent vehicles from losing control and rolling over in the first place.

Injuries from a rollover type of roof crush are usually severe and often fatal. When the roof crushes the occupant's head and spinal cord are the first to be impacted and loaded resulting in closed head injuries, paralysis, paraplegia, quadriplegia, suffocation, amputations & deaths. 

Roof crush failures can be mild to severe. There are four main types of roof crush deformations patterns:

• Cathedral Roof Collapse
  
• Shearing - Sideway Movement
  
• M Shaped & FMVSS216 Test
  

Each of these collapses present different types of potential injuries.
