What Are the Common Causes of Rollover Accidents?

Given the right circumstances, a car, truck, or SUV can spin around and flip one or more times at high speeds, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. A rollover can occur when a car is struck by another vehicle or when a driver makes a sharp turn. Rollovers often occur when a vehicle traveling at high speed makes a sudden turn.

As the rollover begins, the lateral force of the vehicle may cause the rollover to increase in speed. As a result, the vehicle may roll over several times before finally coming to a stop. Rollovers can cause massive damage to the vehicle and severe injury to the passengers.

When Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers take on your case, an Alexandria personal injury lawyer from our firm can investigate your accident to determine how the rollover happened and who was at fault. We handle all types of rollover accident cases, including the following:

1

Manufacturer Design

Tall SUVs, trucks, and some sedans feature taller, narrower designs that create a higher center of gravity. As such, the risk of a rollover may be higher in a single-vehicle crash. A manufacturer or designer may be liable for a rollover accident.

2

Driver Impairment

A drunk driver does not have the ability to properly navigate a vehicle in any situation on the road and may be liable for an accident they cause.

3

Poor Road Conditions

Loose gravel, potholes, or unmarked surfaces can cause a driver to lose control of a vehicle or swerve erratically. If an accident occurs due to poor driving conditions, the City of Alexandria or a road crew may be liable. When taking legal action against a government entity, different processes and deadlines apply. This is still something our rollover accident attorney in LA can help with.

4

Distracted Driving

A driver that is looking down at their phone or preoccupied with another distraction can easily cause an accident by failing to monitor the road. Our rollover injury lawyer can help you prove this kind of negligence.

5

Driver Error

Aside from impaired driving and distracted driving, motorists can engage in other forms of negligent driving. They may break a traffic law, such as by failing to yield the right of way or failing to use their blinkers when changing lanes. Even if another driver did not receive a traffic citation, our Alexandria rollover accident team may still uncover evidence of negligence.

All motorists have a basic duty of care to keep others reasonably safe on the road. Various forms of negligence can result in rollover accidents, and our lawyers can get to the bottom of what caused or contributed to your accident.

How to Prove Negligence in a Rollover Accident Case

Proving negligence in a rollover accident case may involve researching the accident, identifying the liable party, and gathering conclusive evidence of their liability. This can be challenging to do on your own if you are recovering from injuries. When an Alexandria rollover accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers handles your claim, we can manage these tasks on your behalf. To substantiate your claim, we may explore and obtain evidence such as:

  • Manufacturer design flaws or recalls
  • The condition of the road where the accident occurred
  • Written statements from eyewitness
  • Police accident reports
  • Photos or video footage of the accident
  • Medical reports

In addition, we may speak with experts who can investigate the accident and verify your claim. Auto specialists, accident reconstruction experts, or medical professionals may give us insight into how the accident occurred and how the at-fault party’s negligence led to your injuries.

At the very first meeting with Alexis and Danielle they took the time to explain everything to us so that we understood what we were going to go through. They checked in on us to see how things were going with DR appointment and therapy. They checked in on the phone or by text and if I had a question and I was in Lafayette and I would stop by the office one of them would come to answer my questions. I truly appreciate the response and respect that they showed to me and my husband and I would really recommend them to family and friends.

When Should I Seek Help From an Attorney for a Rollover Accident in Alexandria?

It would be best to seek the help of an attorney after a rollover accident when:

  • You have questions about legal rights or what to do next.
  • You’ve been injured.
  • You feel the insurance carrier is not treating you fairly or with integrity.
  • You’re not getting the healthcare you need.

The following are more detailed reasons for getting an attorney after a rollover or any other car-related accident in Louisiana:

You or a Loved One Has a Severe Injury

If the accident results in serious personal injury to you or a loved one. It’s vital to remember that some severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, are sometimes not apparent at the accident scene. For this reason, an attorney should be contacted immediately.

You Have Questions

You may have questions about your legal rights and insurance coverage after a collision. Or, you might be having trouble understanding the complicated relationship between your auto and health insurance. You may benefit from seeking an attorney because you can ask for advice on which agency pays for what and which insurance agency claims should be submitted first.

You Are Asked to Sign a Release

If you are asked to sign a release by your or the other party’s insurance company, do not do this without the advice of an attorney.

You Have Uninsured Motorist Coverage

If you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage and have been involved in a car accident, an attorney can help you understand what you should do and must show to receive the benefits to which you’re entitled.

If you were the victim of a hit-and-run collision, a lawyer could explain how your uninsured motorist benefits can help you or an injured family member.

Do Not Agree to a Settlement Alone

If an insurance company offers you money to resolve your claim, you should not agree to settle or sign any settlement agreement without reviewing it first with an attorney.

There Is Doubt As to Who Is at Fault

You may question who is at fault for the accident if the police report is not accurate. In this case, you should get an attorney immediately following a car accident if there’s any disagreement concerning who caused the accident.

The Insurance Company Is Frustrating You or Delaying

If the auto insurance companies involved refuse to reimburse you or try to underpay benefits, you may want to discuss your case with an attorney. This also may be true if critical medical tests or specialist referrals are denied or delayed by your insurance company.

Additionally, after a rollover accident, you can experience other delays from your insurance claims adjuster. These may include unreturned phone calls, getting your claim passed along to other insurance adjusters, or having to file several medical record requests for the same or similar information.

Examination Under Oath Submission (EUO)

You may be told by your claims adjuster that you must submit to an Examination Under Oath or see an insurance company health provider for a medical exam before being paid further benefits. If so, contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Insurance Company Failure to Pay

If the insurance company refuses to cover your expenses, we can file a lawsuit.

How We Help Injured Victims in Rollover Accidents

If you have never filed a personal injury claim, you may not be familiar with how to get started with your case, negotiate a settlement, or navigate the legal process. An Alexandria rollover accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers can guide you through litigation and act on your behalf in all areas of your claim when we represent you. Our law firm provides the following legal services:

1

Full Case Management

Our legal team can handle every aspect of your case when we represent you, including investigating the accident, establishing fault and liability, calculating your damages, and negotiating a fair settlement. This can give you more time to recover and get back on your feet.

2

Damage Assessment

You do not have to accept the insurance company’s initial settlement offer. Instead, let us assess and calculate your damages to determine what your case is worth. We can examine medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other expenses to estimate the value of your claim.

3

Settlement Negotiation

We can engage with the at-fault party and their insurance company on your behalf to negotiate a fair settlement.

4

Full Legal Representation

If the at-fault party’s insurance company is unwilling to make you a fair offer, we can take your case to trial, where our lawyers can represent you in front of a judge or jury.

Per CC Art. 3493.1, the general statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in Louisiana is two years. If you allow this time limit to expire in your case, it could prevent you from recovering compensation via a lawsuit. Also, a two-year time limit applies from the time of death for any wrongful death that occurred, as stated by CC Art. 2315.2.

Seeking Legal Help From an Alexandria Rollover Accident Attorney

You do not need to face the parties responsible for your injuries alone. An Alexandria rollover accident lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to represent you.

To get started with a free, no-obligation consultation on your case, we urge you to call us or fill out our contact form. Our attorneys can start working on your lawsuit right away and may be able to help you recover the compensation you deserve! Call us today for a free consultation.
