4 Important Facts to Know about ESC Technology and Rollover Accidents

Turned-over_SUV_(2)_(25926717)

U.S. agencies charged with traffic safety and consumer safety advocates want to see ESC (electronic Stability Control) technology in all cars and trucks on U.S. roads. The Pearland personal injury lawyers at Denena Points, PC understand their reason: ESC can help prevent rollovers, one of the most dangerous types of accidents and the one most likely to be fatal. All new passenger vehicles are required to have ESC technology, but many older cars and trucks still on the road do not have it.

Insurance companies are very interested in ESC technology and encourage its use in all vehicles. Insurance companies, after all, are the ones that get stuck paying the costs of needless accidents and serious injuries resulting from rollovers.

Studies by insurers and U.S. safety agencies reveal 4 important facts that may make you glad to have ESC technology in your next vehicle:

  1. ESC reduces the incidence of fatal crashes by about 33%, or 10,000 fatalities annually IIHS, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety).
  2. ESC reduces risks of single vehicle fatal rollover wrecks in SUVs by 75% (Consumer Reports).
  3. ESC technology reduces risks of fatal single vehicle rollover wrecks in passenger cars by 72% (Consumer Reports).
  4. ESC technology can prevent 85% of potential SUV rollovers (U.S. NHTSA).
