On Saturday, July 11, 2009 a 35-year-old man was driving his 1991 Suburban when he swerved to avoid another car and was involved in an SUV rollover accident. The man was taken to the hospital, but was pronounced dead when he arrived.

The police investigating the Illinois rollover accident say that a 1998 Cadillac Deville was parked partially on the road facing the wrong direction. When the man driving the Suburban came around a corner, he saw the Cadillac and swerved to avoid hitting it. While the Suburban avoided the head-on auto accident, the driver lost control of the vehicle and it rolled over.

When the SUV rolled, the driver was partially ejected from the vehicle and was fatally injured. The driver of the Cadillac that was in the road said they had parked there to get their mail. Police are still looking into whether the SUV rollover was caused by drunk driving or drugs.

An SUV rollover accident such as this could be hard to handle without the assistance of an accident lawyer. An SUV rollover lawyer could help determine if the accident was caused by a product defect with the Suburban, or if the driver of the Cadillac is responsible for the accident.

If you have been injured in an SUV rollover accident, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries. Please contact an experienced accident lawyer to schedule an initial case evaluation.
