Understanding Rollovers
A rollover accident occurs when a vehicle tips on its side or roof. Because of their shape and design, certain vehicles, such as SUVs and trucks, are more apt to roll over. These accidents have the potential to cause immense harm. Many rollovers eject drivers and passengers from the vehicles. Rollovers often cause the most severe types of injuries, such as traumatic brain damage, neck and back injuries, and spinal cord damage, paralysis, and amputations.
Sadly, rollovers in Fresno can also cause fatalities. If someone lost their loved one in a rollover crash caused by someone else’s negligence, our compassionate legal team knows how to help them fight back in a wrongful death civil lawsuit.
Pursuing a Claim Against a Negligent Motorist After a Rollover Accident
Rollovers in Fresno usually happen when a motorist loses control of their vehicle, causing it to hit another car, guardrail, curb, or other object. They can also happen if a motorist suddenly notices a problem and tries to overcompensate and swerve their car back into place on the road.
Speeding
Cars are harder to operate correctly at high speeds. When motorists fail to adhere to speed limits, they can lose control of their vehicles. Additionally, if a driver needs to stop or slow down because the car in front of them has done so, they might not be able to do so in time.
Improper Lane Changes
Motorists who try to change lanes or pass other vehicles outside of a passing zone can cause rollover accidents, especially when they are traveling at high speeds on a highway.
Distracted Driving
When motorists engage in behavior like texting or personal grooming behind the wheel, they are more likely to find themselves in a situation where they must swerve to avoid danger, ultimately causing their vehicle to flip or rollover.
Drunk Driving
Intoxicated drivers can easily lose control of their vehicles, causing rollover accidents.
Our well-versed legal team can skillfully investigate a rollover accident. We can interview eyewitnesses to learn about what they saw and review any photographs from the crash scene to look for evidence. We can also subpoena critical evidence that could make a difference to the case, such as the motorist’s cell phone records to see if they were texting while driving, the driver’s blood alcohol levels to see if they were drunk, and video and camera footage from surveillance cameras near the accident scene.
