Rollover Car Accidents

The Boulder County rollover car accident lawyers at Cederberg Law are skilled at helping those injured in rollover car accidents obtain the compensation they need and deserve.Approximately 1 in every 5 fatal motor vehicle accidents is a rollover accident, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). While about 75 percent of individuals who were killed in fatal rollover accidents were not using their seatbelts at the time of the accident, approximately 66 percent of those who died in these accidents were totally thrown from the vehicle upon the collision.

When rollover accidents are caused by another driver’s negligent or reckless behavior, those who are injured in these accidents – as well as families who may have lost a loved one in a fatal rollover accident – will likely:

  • Have a car accident claim against the negligent driver
  • Be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, injuries, lost wages, property damage, suffering and other losses.

When Rollover Accidents Are Most Likely to Occur

Some of the specific factors that can increase the likelihood that a rollover accident will occur include the following:

  • A vehicle’s center of gravity being too high – In fact, vehicles like light trucks and SUVs that are known to have higher centers of gravity are involved far more often in rollover accidents than passenger vehicles.
  • Drivers being intoxicated while operating their vehicle, which is most likely involved in fatal single-vehicle rollover accidents
  • Driver’s failure to obey the speed limits, which is also commonly associated with fatal rollover accidents
  • Poor weather conditions that cause icy or slick roadways
  • Dangerous roadway conditions, such as objects being in the road, which cause drivers to need to suddenly steer their vehicle in a different direction (which, in turn, can cause the vehicle to hit a curb, median or other vehicle and rollover)
  • A vehicle’s tires blowing out, either due to defects in the tire themselves, failure to maintain tires or potholes or debris in the road.
