What is a Rollover Accident?

A rollover accident occurs when a vehicle tips over onto its side or roof during a crash. Rollovers can involve one or multiple rotations, depending on the force and angle of impact. This type of accident is particularly dangerous because occupants are often tossed around inside the vehicle, even with seatbelts on. SUVs, trucks, and vans are at a higher risk for rollovers due to their high center of gravity, making them more likely to tip when involved in sudden turns or impact with another vehicle.

Common causes of rollover accidents include:

• Excessive Speed: Driving at high speeds, especially around sharp turns or in wet conditions, increases the risk of a vehicle tipping over. Rollovers are more likely to occur at speeds over 55 mph.
• Distracted or Impaired Driving: When a driver is distracted, fatigued, or under the influence, they may lose control of the vehicle, leading to sudden swerving or overcorrection, which can cause a rollover.
• Sharp Turns or Sudden Maneuvers: Swerving abruptly or taking turns at high speed, especially in top-heavy vehicles, can lead to rollovers.
• Vehicle Defects: Certain vehicles, particularly SUVs and trucks, are more prone to rolling over due to design issues like a high center of gravity. In addition, tire blowouts or faulty brakes can contribute to loss of control and potential rollovers.
• Road Conditions: Poorly maintained roads, debris, and weather conditions like rain or ice can make it easier for a vehicle to skid or lose traction, increasing the likelihood of a rollover.

Understanding what caused your rollover accident is essential for pursuing a successful claim. Our North Carolina rollover accident lawyers will investigate every detail to determine the factors involved in your accident.

Who is Liable for a Rollover Accident?

Rollover accidents can be complex when it comes to determining liability, as multiple parties may be responsible depending on the circumstances of the accident. The following parties may be liable in a rollover accident case:

• The Driver: If the accident occurred due to the driver’s negligence, such as speeding, distracted driving, or impaired driving, the driver may be liable for the resulting injuries and damages.
• Vehicle Manufacturer: In cases where the vehicle’s design contributed to the accident, such as an SUV with a high rollover risk, the manufacturer might be held responsible for producing a vehicle that is unsafe under normal driving conditions. Additionally, if a vehicle defect like a tire blowout caused the rollover, the manufacturer could also be held liable.
• Other Motorists: If another driver’s actions, such as unsafe lane changes or tailgating, caused you to lose control and roll over, that driver could be held liable for the accident.
• Government Agencies: Poor road conditions, lack of proper signage, or inadequate maintenance can also contribute to rollover accidents. In these cases, a government agency responsible for maintaining safe roadways may share liability.

Each case is unique, and determining liability often requires extensive investigation. At Lanier Law Group, P.A., our North Carolina rollover accident attorneys work tirelessly to identify all responsible parties to maximize your compensation.
