Southern California Attorneys Representing Clients Injured Due to SUV Rollovers or Loss of Control
Lack of electronic stability control in your car or sport utility vehicle (SUV) can result in a loss of control or even in a rollover accident especially in high center of gravity vehicles like sport utility vehicles (SUVs). At Avila & Peros, LLP in El Segundo and Newport Beach, California, we possess extensive knowledge of this technology and hold manufacturers accountable for failing to install these necessary safety devices in their vehicles.
Cost Savings Replacing Safety
Electronic stability control (ESC) technology is over a decade old. Unfortunately, though, some manufacturers have refused to make this a standard feature, not because it was too costly, but because until recently there was no Federal law requiring them to install it. And because their own internal market research had shown that installing it wouldn’t significantly increase sales due to lack of knowledge by the consumer of its safety benefits.
Instead of focusing on saving lives, the automobile manufacturers focused on saving a few dollars by not installing electronic stability control. Thankfully, legislation now mandates that ESC be standard in all motor vehicles by 2011. Yet, for th thousands who die in rollover accidents each year, that law is too little, too late.
Advocating for Injured or Grieving Clients
At Avila & Peros, LLP, we represent clients injured in accidents due to the lack of electronic stability control. Severe injuries have resulted from a car or SUV fishtailing out of control. ESC provides sensors in the wheels, engine and steering wheel. Those sensors are meant to apply individual ABS brakes at the exact pressure necessary while throttling down the engine.
Without electronic stability control, people have lost limbs and suffered severe injuries that left them an amputee, quadriplegic or paraplegic. A loved one riding with them may have died. The manufacturers may have saved money, but your life has been forever changed. We will work diligently to ensure that manufacturers are held responsible for their negligence and that you are compensated for your damages and loss.
