Do I Need An Attorney?

While the facts of the accident may be clear, obtaining compensation for your injuries may not be as simple as filing a claim with the insurance company. Insurers may look to deny your claim or may not offer you the fair amount of compensation that you need to pay your medical bills and replace the property that you lost. An attorney can help you fight for the compensation that you are owed, and can help you hold the responsible party accountable for their actions. You may be owed compensation for your expenses related to the cost of medical care, lost wages from time off of work, and the cost of replacing your vehicle. You may also be owed compensation for your pain, suffering, and other emotional trauma associated with the accident. Contact an experienced attorney today to discuss your case and find out what you might be owed.

Causes of Rollover Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), rollover accidents account for more than half of single-vehicle crash fatalities. Each year, there are approximately 11,000 rollover accidents, and the chances of serious injuries increase by 36% when a rollover occurs. The primary causes of rollover accidents are:

High center of gravity: when a vehicle’s center of gravity is too high by design, it makes the vehicle susceptible to flipping over while turning, even at lower speeds.
Defective suspension: the stability of a vehicle is very dependent on the suspension. When the suspension fails, the car can lose control and become impossible to control, leading to rollovers.
Poor road conditions: The roadways we drive on play a very big role in car rollovers. Uneven pavement, bad maintenance, and debris can all contribute to rollovers, and it’s the government’s responsibility to maintain safe and drivable roads.
Manufacturer error/design flaws: in many cases, the vehicle’s design may make it more susceptible to rolling over in the event of a collision or maneuver on the road.

If you or someone you love has been hurt in a rollover accident, you do not need to suffer the consequences alone. You have the right to pursue legal action to recover compensation for your injuries and damage to your property, whether it is the vehicle manufacturer or another liable party. For more information on rollover accidents and for more statistics about these types of crashes, you can read more at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website, www.saftercar.gov. The website provides helpful information on how crashes occur, new safety technology that may help prevent these types of crashes, and other valuable information. If you have been hurt in an accident, it is important to contact an experienced attorney right away to discuss your rights and your claim.

Common Rollover Injuries

Rollover accidents often result in serious injuries to the driver and any passengers who are in the vehicle. Commonly reported injuries from rollover accidents include:

Spinal cord injuries
Back injuries
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Lower-cervical neck fracture
Broken bones
Internal bleeding
Crush injuries

Serious injuries like these often require extensive medical treatment and may have a lasting impact on the lives of those involved. You may find yourself unable to work and enjoy the things that you formerly enjoyed doing. If this happens, you have the right to pursue a rollover accident claim against those who were responsible for this accident.

Wrongful Death Claims

If you lost a loved one in a rollover accident, you may be eligible for compensation for your tragic loss. While no one should have to suffer the loss of someone close to them due to a preventable accident like this, there is legal recourse for you to pursue justice on behalf of your loved one. An experienced and compassionate rollover accident lawyer can help explain your options and will help you pursue a wrongful death claim. You may be eligible to recover compensation for funeral costs, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and other damages. Eligible parties include the spouse, children, parents, or dependents of the deceased. While pursuing legal action may be difficult to consider immediately following the loss of a loved one, it is important to file your claim to make sure that you get the compensation you deserve to help you try to rebuild your life and move on.
