California Car Roof Crush Injury LawyersCar Roof Crush Attorneys in Orange County, Los Angeles & San FranciscoCar Roof Crush Statistics Out of Control, Study ShowsA surprising new report outlines that many of the 10,000 deaths suffered by drivers nationwide could have been prevented if their car's roof was made properly. The report outlines the fact that most cars have thin and unstable roofs that make the cars dangerous to drive in. These roofs collapse and crush inward during rollover situations, causing serious damage and deaths each year. In response to the attention, the car industry has responded with a defense known as the "diving theory" which has proven to be entirely false. In car industry documents and other materials that were uncovered over the past three decades researchers found that car makers knew that stronger car roofs would save lives but did nothing about it. In 2005 the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed that there was a definitive link between a car's roof strength, crushing and injuries. Several other studies have shown that stronger roofs save the lives of everyone in the car, even during a rollover or other traumatic car accident. In one Volvo run safety study the car manufacturer revealed that car roof structure played a causal role in the rate of head-and-neck injuries during a car accident. Deformations in the car roof structure and its ability to be crushed increased the rate of injury and death. In addition, Volvo's conclusions added that headspace within the car also saved lives. The less a person's head touched the roof of their car, the higher the chance of reduced injury and death that person had. While Volvo released the data to the industry and made steps in improving safety in its own cars, most all other car makers have yet to do the same. Car roof safety has been an issue for the past three decades as car makers struggled to understand how to make their cars safer and more cost-effective. Cutting costs by not putting enough engineering know-how into creating a more solid car roof has led to increase in injuries and deaths. American car makers Chevrolet and Ford have been especially slow to respond to accusations that their car roofs are not safe for people to drive under. While car makers are adding new safety features, such as air bags and other items, they do little to help during a car rollover. The study also revealed that since 1972 fatalities on US highways have decreased, even taking into account the increase in the number of drivers and cars on the roads. Deaths and injuries blamed on car roof crushes and rollovers have been on the rise over the past three decades, however. The new data suggests that stronger car roofs would improve driver and rider safety tremendously, keeping in line with all of the other improvements to car safety over the years.
