Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents are more likely to result in serious injuries or fatalities than other types of crashes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) an estimated 85% of roll over accidents are single vehicle crashes.

Rollover accidents often involve roof crush injuries and in certain cases ejection from the vehicle. The strength of the roof and the roof structure support is one of the primary causes of catastrophic injuries including paralysis due to spine injuries and head trauma.

Injuries
A rollover accident can involved many different types of serious and life-threatening injuries including injuries that are fatal. Some of the injuries caused by rollover accidents include:

• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Permanent scarring
• Brain injury
• Amputations
• Internal injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Paralysis
• Death

In rollover accidents, starting an investigation as soon as possible following the crash is very important. Photographs, tire marks and other evidence from the accident scene including witness statements help in later recreating what happened during the crash. One of the most important pieces of evidence is the vehicle itself. Often after a crash the car or truck is totaled and subsequently salvaged. Without the vehicle it is very difficult if not impossible to pursue a products liability case proving that the vehicle itself caused or contributed to the crash and subsequent injuries.
