Sacramento Vehicle Rollover Accident Attorneys
Rollover accidents have higher fatality rates than any other type of crash, and frequently result in serious or catastrophic injury or death. Rollover accidents can occur in SUVs, trucks, 15 passenger vans, and all types of automobiles. If you have been injured or a member of your family has been killed in a vehicle rollover accident, contact a Sacramento rollover accident lawyer at Estey & Bomberger for a consultation of your legal rights.
Rollover Accidents Statistics
Although vehicle rollover accidents only account for 3% of crashes, they do constitute more than 30% of accident fatalities. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports more than 10,000 people die annually in rollover accidents. Thousands more are injured annually in both solo vehicle and multi-vehicle rollover accidents. Innocent pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists are also at risk for injury when an out of control vehicle rolls into their path, without enough time to avoid a collision.
Rollover Accident Injuries
Rollover accident injuries may range from minor to catastrophic or fatal, depending on many factors. Rollover accidents often cause occupants to be ejected, resulting in serious head injuries or death. Other injuries may be caused by seat belt failure or when the roof caves in and crushes a vehicle occupant, causing serious injury or death. We have represented both drivers and passengers injured in auto accidents with serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other types of trauma.
SUV Rollover Accidents
Sport utility vehicles (SUV’s) are notorious for their heightened rollover risk, although all vehicles are potentially susceptible to rollover accidents. A higher center of gravity and narrower tire track make SUV’s more likely to rollover in a crash than sedans. Despite common belief that added weight in an SUV will increase stability, heavily loaded vehicles actually increase the likelihood of a rollover accident occurring. Rollover accidents can occur when a driver runs off the road and the vehicle is “tripped” on another surface, such as a curb, dirt shoulder or ditch.
Manufacturer Negligence in SUV Rollover Crashes
In some cases, the manufacturer of a vehicle may be responsible for a rollover crash, if the vehicle’s design is not in line with reasonable safety standards. An attorney familiar with rollover crashes can review the facts of your case and determine if a crash was caused in whole or part by a design defect or flaw in your vehicle. Our product defect attorneys can assist in preserving evidence and filing a claim against the manufacturer, retailer, and all parties responsible in getting a defective vehicle to you.
