What are the most dangerous vehicles to be inside during a wreck?

 

A:

Our Pearland, TX car accident attorneys found a recent list of the most dangerous vehicles to their occupants during a wreck. The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) prepared this list based upon which cars have generated the greatest losses to the insurance industry after suffering highway accidents. These losses include car damage costs and medical expenses from the highway accidents. The top 10 cars on their list, as you might expect, all comprise small, relatively compact vehicles. These cars include the:

1.   Kia Spectra
2.   4-Door Chevy Cobalt
3.   Pontiac G5
4.   Dodge Charger
5.   Mercedes CLS Class
6.   2-Door Chevy Cobalt
7.   Mercedes S Class
8.   Toyota Scion tC
9.   Cadillac Escalade EXT
10. Mitsubishi Lancer

Forbes Magazine issued a similar list of "The Most Dangerous Vehicles of 2010." The magazine based their list exclusively on IIHS crash test results. This list doesn't reference data from actual vehicle collisions in highway accidents, and doesn't distinguish among large or small cars. The Forbes list puts the Chevy Aveo, the Chrysler PT Cruiser, and the Mitsubishi Gallant in the number 1, 2 and 3 spots respectively.

Extensive data shows that in highway accidents with larger vehicles, drivers and passengers of smaller cars receive more costly and severe accident injuries than occupants of the larger vehicles. If you've suffered a wreck with a larger vehicle, and you need help to obtain fair financial compensation to help pay for the costs of your injuries and losses from the accident, please give us a call.
