This article details some of the common injuries sustained from rollover accidents and emphasizes why hiring a personal injury attorney may be necessary.

 

What Are The Causes Of Rollover Vehicle Accidents?

Rollover accidents have many causes, most of which can be avoided with proper safety precautions being implemented. Most rollover accidents stem from vehicles losing control due to high speeds, poor road conditions or design flaws.

Tripping is one of the primary causes of vehicles losing balance. Wheels may slip when hitting objects such as curbs, soft shoulders or potholes. Design of the vehicle may also play a factor. SUVs, vans and trucks with a higher center of gravity tend to rollover when taking sharp corners - particularly during off-roading or when towing heavy loads.

 

What Are Common Rollover Accident Injuries?

Rollover accident injuries vary in terms of their impact, number of passengers and location. Here are common injuries with these kinds of accidents:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Fractures and Broken Bones
  • Internal Injuries
  • Whiplash and Neck Injuries
  • Facial Injuries

 

How Can I Prove That the Other Driver Is at Fault?

Proving liability in rollover accidents is of utmost importance. Here are several effective means of doing so:

  • Eyewitness Testimony
  • Police Reports
  • Traffic Cameras
  • Dashcam Footage
  • Vehicle Data

 

Why Is Hiring A Personal Injury Attorney Beneficial?

After a vehicle accident, dealing with medical bills and insurers can be stressful. This is why consulting a personal injury attorney could prove invaluable.

  • Expertise In Complex Cases
  • Negotiating With Insurance Companies
  • Gathering And Presenting Evidence
  • Maximizing Your Compensation

 

When Is The Right Time To Hire An Attorney?

After an accident, you must seek legal representation immediately to protect and defend your rights. Most personal injury suits have strict deadlines - waiting too long could compromise this right and make filing more challenging than necessary.

An experienced attorney is best qualified to assess whether your claim has merit. Working closely with one early will enable them to start gathering evidence and saving documents for you.

 

What Are The Criteria To Find A Good Attorney?

  • Experience: When hiring an attorney to represent rollover accidents, make sure they have expertise in personal injury law.
  • Reputation: Choose an attorney with a good standing within the legal community, boasting exceptional client reviews and impressive case results.
  • Communication Skills: Choose an attorney capable of explaining legal matters clearly to you.
