See if you qualify for this lawsuit
Quick form — a real person will review your info and reach out if you may have a case.
The Ford Super Duty pickup truck is one of the most popular vehicles in America. But lawsuits allege that certain 1999–2016 models — the F-250, F-350, and F-450 — have roof structures that are dangerously weak in rollover crashes.
When these trucks roll over, lawsuits allege, the roof collapses inward — crushing down on the occupants inside. That can cause catastrophic injuries: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, paralysis, and death. These are injuries that a stronger roof structure could prevent or significantly reduce.
Ford is facing individual personal injury and wrongful death cases from people who say they were seriously harmed when the roof of their Super Duty truck gave way during a rollover. If that sounds like your situation — or the situation of a family member who was killed — the free case check form is here.
What the Ford Super Duty Lawsuit Is About
Federal safety standards for roof strength — called FMVSS 216 — require vehicle roofs to withstand a crush force equal to 1.5 times the vehicle's curb weight.1 For heavy trucks like the Super Duty, critics and safety researchers have argued for years that this standard is not strong enough to protect people in real-world crashes.
Lawsuits allege Ford knew its Super Duty trucks did not meet a higher, more protective roof crush standard — and chose not to strengthen the roof anyway. Some cases cite internal Ford documents and engineering tests allegedly showing the roof's weakness.
This is not a recall or a class action. These are individual cases — each person's injuries and circumstances are evaluated on their own merits.
Who May Qualify
You may qualify if all of the following apply to your situation:
- You were driving or riding in a 1999–2016 Ford Super Duty truck (F-250, F-350, or F-450).
- The truck was involved in a rollover crash.
- The roof collapsed, crushed inward, or failed to protect the occupants during the rollover.
- You suffered serious injuries — such as traumatic brain injury, paralysis, or spinal cord damage — OR a family member was killed as a result.

Start Free Case Check →What Could This Mean for You?
If you qualify, you may be owed money for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and — in cases of wrongful death — the losses suffered by surviving family members. These cases are evaluated individually based on the specific crash and injuries involved.
We will not quote individual figures. What any individual case may be worth depends entirely on the person's specific injuries, the details of the crash, and how each case proceeds. Anyone who gives you a specific number at this stage is guessing — and we won't do that.
Filing Deadline
Every state has a law that sets a deadline for filing a personal injury or wrongful death case. The deadline typically starts from the date of the crash — not the date you learned about the lawsuit or heard from an attorney.
If the crash happened years ago, that deadline may be approaching or may have already passed in some states. The only way to know is to check now. The case check is free and takes about two minutes.
How the Process Works
Many people avoid starting a case because the process sounds overwhelming. In practice, this is what it looks like for most people:
Step 1 — Fill out the free form
No cost, no commitment. Takes about two minutes. Describes your truck, the crash, and your injuries.
Step 2 — A lawyer reviews the details
Your information is reviewed by a real attorney who looks at your crash circumstances and injuries. If you may have a case, someone reaches out to you.
Step 3 — Attorneys work on contingency
If you qualify and move forward, attorneys handle your case on contingency — meaning you pay nothing out of pocket, ever. Fees only come out if money is recovered for you.
Step 4 — Your individual case is prepared and pursued
Because these are individual cases — not a class action — your case is built around your specific crash, injuries, and circumstances.
Common Questions
Is this a recall or class action?
No. These are individual personal injury cases based on specific crashes and injuries — not a class settlement. You are not joining a group; you have your own case.
The crash happened years ago — is it too late?
Statutes of limitations vary by state. In personal injury cases, the deadline usually starts from the date of the crash. Some states give two years; others give more. Check soon — if the window closes, you cannot recover.
My family member was killed in a rollover crash — can we file?
Yes. Wrongful death cases brought by surviving family members are a significant part of this type of case. Fill out the form and a lawyer will review whether your situation qualifies.
What if the crash was partly my fault?
In many states, you can still recover even if you were partially at fault — depending on your state's laws. The key question is whether the roof collapse made your injuries worse than they would have been with a stronger roof. Worth checking.
Does this cover the standard F-150, or just Super Duty trucks?
This specific case focuses on the Super Duty series — the F-250, F-350, and F-450. The F-150 is a different vehicle and is not included here.
