What Causes Rollover Car Accidents?

Rollover car wrecks often result from a driver’s negligence, combined with poor vehicle and road conditions.

Common causes of rollover car accidents include:

• Sharp turns
• Distracted or fatigued driving
• Sudden and rapid lane changes
• Reckless and aggressive driving
• Speeding, especially around curves or down steep grades
• Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, making them more likely to roll over
• “Tripping” hazards in the roadway, such as curves, soft shoulders, ditches, uneven surfaces, or foreign debris

Sometimes, drivers are forced to make a defensive move that may seem negligent, such as rapidly changing lanes, to avoid being hit by another motorist or hitting something in the roadway. When defensive maneuvers cause a rollover, another driver (not the driver of the rolled vehicle) may be at fault.

Alternatively, sometimes a rolling vehicle can cause a chain-reaction crash and harm other drivers and passengers not directly involved in the collision. In these instances, third-party motorists may have a claim against the driver of the car that rolled.

Our Sacramento attorneys could investigate your rollover auto accident and determine fault. We could then help you pursue claims against the liable parties.

Why Are Rollover Crashes So Severe?

Rollover car crashes in Sacramento can be particularly injurious and deadly.

In a rollover collision, occupants are subjected to the initial impact that caused the vehicle to roll. This force can throw their bodies against the inside of the vehicle, causing severe injuries, including:

• Severe bruising
• Neck injuries, including whiplash
• Back and shoulder injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal organ damage and bleeding
• Head and brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries

Additionally, parts of the car, such as the roof or sides, may collapse in a rollover. These parts may strike or crush the vehicle’s occupants, causing further injuries.

Potential  Compensation After a Rollover Accident

If another driver, a negligent roadway owner, or another at-fault party caused or contributed to your crash, you could seek compensation for your related damages.

Curtis Legal Group could help you pursue the cost of medical treatments related to your Sacramento rollover car accident injuries. Medical damages may include your current healthcare bills and future expenses, such as follow-up care and physical therapy.

If you cannot work because of your injury, we could seek compensation for your lost wages, earnings, and employment benefits. We could also seek compensation for your lost future earning potential if a permanent injury prevents you from going back to work.

Additionally, we could pursue monetary damages for intangible losses related to your physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering.

Filing a Rollover Auto Accident Claim

California is an at-fault insurance state, so drivers must have auto liability insurance to pay for accidents they are legally responsible for causing.

Our lawyers will likely begin your Sacramento rollover car wreck case by filing an insurance claim against the responsible party. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we could take legal action.

We must file your personal injury case in civil court before the statute of limitations expires. According to California Civil Code § 335.1, this deadline is usually two years from the time of the collision.
