Virtually any vehicle can be involved in a rollover accident, which occurs when a vehicle turns over onto its side or roof in a car accident. However, vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as trucks, are more prone to rollovers. Because rollovers can crush vehicles and throw around objects and individuals inside, they often lead to serious injuries and fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A third of all passenger traffic fatalities that occurred in 2004 happened in rollover accidents.
Some of the most common rollover injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, bruises and scrapes, and broken bones. While sometimes victims can walk away with minor injuries after a rollover, the reality is that many rollover-related injuries tend to come with long-term effects and even be permanent, such as paralysis.
The NHTSA has also reported that many rollover accidents are caused by driver-related factors, meaning they’re often caused by negligence.
Rollovers are mainly caused by the following factors:
Though it may seem obvious to you that the other driver involved caused your rollover and injuries, there are some cases where another party can be held liable for damages in a personal injury claim. Sometimes issues with the vehicle manufacturing itself may cause accidents. When a defect like a weight imbalance in a vehicle or faulty brakes causes an accident, the manufacturer may be held responsible for negligence.
Though it’s rarer, local governments can be held accountable when loose debris or poor road conditions causes a vehicle to roll over. A car can flip over when it hits a deep pothole, uneven road, or incline. Many public roads are maintained by local governments and other bodies that are responsible for fixing hazards that could potentially harm others.
