Rollover crashes are rare, but when they do occur the injuries are often catastrophic or deadly. If you were in a rollover crash caused by another individual it is crucial that you seek compensation through a personal injury claim to help cover the financial expenses of medical treatment, time away from work, and emotional distress. At Hale Law our Bradenton rollover accident attorneys know how important the outcome of an insurance claim is to your future well-being.
Rollover crashes occur when a vehicle goes around a curve or when a driver swerves, overcorrects and swerves again, and overcorrects. Each time reduces the stability of the vehicle until it rolls. Often there is another element to a rollover which is when the car “trips” on a pothole, change of road surface, another vehicle, or a stationary object. This “trip” causes the final imbalance that leads to the rollover. The risk of a rollover is increased by the following factors:
Even if your vehicle was the only one to rollover, someone else may still be held liable for your injuries. For instance, if you had to swerve to miss rear-ending a car that swerved unexpectedly in front of you, you can still file a claim with that driver’s insurance company. If another vehicle struck yours and that impact caused the rollover, you can seek compensation from the driver who caused the crash.
