Can a Rollover Accident Be the Fault of a Vehicle Manufacturer?
A rollover accident may be the fault of a vehicle manufacturer based on how they design a vehicle. Some vehicles are prone to rollover.

If you’re in a rollover crash, be sure to investigate the vehicle manufacturer as a possible party at fault.
Who Is at Fault for a Rollover Accident?
There are numerous parties who may be at fault for a rollover accident. Of course, a vehicle driver that is either in the rolled vehicle or in another vehicle may be at fault. Another driver disrupting traffic may be at fault even if they are not directly involved in the crash.
An employer who entrusts their vehicle to someone may be responsible for their actions. In addition, a vehicle manufacturer may be at fault for the design and handling of the vehicle. Finally, a government entity that maintains the roads may be to blame for the design, maintenance or traffic flow of the road where the accident occurs.
