Common Causes of Rollover Accidents

Several factors contribute to rollover accidents. One primary cause is aggressive driving behavior, such as speeding and abrupt lane changes. These actions can lead to losing control, including driving around curves or during sudden emergency maneuvers. In addition, drivers distracted by mobile devices or other passengers are more apt to miss crucial road signals, increasing the potential for a rollover.

Another significant cause is the vehicle's design. Cars with a higher center of gravity, like SUVs and pickups, are more prone to rolling over. Drivers should be aware of this risk and take extra precautions when operating such vehicles. Moreover, old or worn maintained tires can affect the vehicle's handling, increasing the likelihood of a rollover.

The Severity of Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities due to the violent nature of the incident. Passengers can experience traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or broken bones when thrown inside a vehicle or ejected during the rollover. The risk of injury is higher in vehicles without proper safety features, such as rollover protection systems and seatbelts.

Anyone involved in a rollover accident must seek immediate medical attention, regardless of how minor their injuries may seem. Symptoms of serious injuries may not manifest until later, so a proper evaluation is vital to ensure one's health and well-being.

Legal Implications of Rollover Accidents in Houston

You may wonder about your legal options if you or a loved one has sustained injuries in a rollover accident. In Houston, victims of rollover accidents can pursue compensation for their injuries, which can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Establishing fault is essential to claiming compensation. Determining liability in rollover accidents can be complex. Factors include the other driver's actions, the vehicle's condition, and the road conditions at the time of the accident. A thorough investigation often involves gathering eyewitness accounts, police reports, and expert testimony.

Seeking Legal Help

Navigating the aftermath of a rollover accident can be overwhelming. An experienced attorney specializing in personal injury law can provide the guidance you need to understand your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve. They can help you gather the necessary evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court.

Time is of the essence when filing a personal injury claim. Texas law imposes a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases, so it is critical to act fast. Consulting with an attorney ensures you meet all deadlines and have adequate time to build a strong case.
