Frequently Asked Questions about Ford Collapse Injury Lawsuits
- Which Ford trucks are affected?
-
Reports show that Ford Super Duty Trucks manufactured between 1999 and 2016, including the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 have a roof structure prone to collapse in a rollover accident. An estimated 5.2 million trucks are impacted nationwide.
- What are the roof-crush allegations against Ford?
-
Our lawsuits allege Super Duty trucks manufactured between 1999 and 2016 have roofs prone to collapse in a rollover accident due to Ford’s alleged choices to degrade the structure and safety of the truck cab. Hagens Berman attorneys believe Ford has known of the alleged dangers since before the first affected truck was sold in 1999
- When did Ford know of the alleged roof-collapse danger?
-
Our lawsuits allege Ford has known about the dangers of the weak and defective roof structure in Super Duty trucks since before the affected vehicles were sold. Despite this knowledge, Ford continued to manufacture and sell these vehicles without taking action to correct the defect. This negligence has left millions of Ford truck owners at risk of serious injuries or death if their vehicle is involved in a rollover accident.
- Why should I contact a personal injury attorney?
-
Medical problems caused by personal injury may not be fully recognized for months or even years after an accident. Losses from medical bills, decreased earning potential, and many other problems can pile up unexpectedly. An attorney with experience representing personal injury victims and negotiating with insurance companies can analyze your case and determine fair compensation for your losses.
- When should I call an attorney?
-
You should consult an attorney as soon as possible after being injured. In most cases there are time limits for filing claims after an injury occurs, and if this deadline passes, your claim could be dismissed. In addition, finding witnesses and gathering evidence to support your case becomes more difficult the longer you wait.
