Lafayette Rollover Truck Accident Lawyer

A rollover accident occurs when a vehicle flips over. Tractor-trailers and other large commercial vehicles are vulnerable to rollovers because they have a high center of gravity and may be unstable in corners. When an 18-wheeler rolls over, it can block the road for oncoming cars, which may not be able to stop in time.

If you were injured in a truck accident, you may be able to recover compensation for the full extent of your losses. However, pursuing a personal injury claim alone can be an overwhelming task. For legal advice and help with the claims process, reach out to a Lafayette rollover truck accident lawyer today.

Commercial Vehicles are Vulnerable to Rollovers

Compared to passengers cars, commercial trucks are tall and narrow, which can make them more susceptible to rollovers. Additionally, shifting cargo can cause serious instability. If the truck’s cargo is not strapped down properly, even a slight movement can make that heavy cargo shift from one side of the truck to the other. When that happens, it adds even more force and makes a rollover even more possible.

Rollover truck accidents are unique because of the devastating injuries and extensive property damage they can cause. These accidents are extremely dangerous for the occupants because their bodies are often jerked around, putting them into a different range of motion than they are used to. If drivers and passengers are not buckled, they could be ejected through the front windshield, a side window, or even the rear windshield in a vehicle.

Documenting a Rollover Accident

To document a rollover accident, a person should call 911 so that the police, the fire department, and an ambulance can come to the scene. The police will help to take pictures and document the events and the crash site. They will collect statements from witnesses and any other parties involved. If the victim is able, it is also a good idea for them to take their own photos of the vehicle and any injuries that they may have. If there are any defects or obstacles on the road that may have led to the rollover, it could be important to document those as well.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Steps a Lafayette Attorney Could Take After a Collision

Lafayette rollover truck accident attorneys could help injury victims by documenting their damages and conducting an investigation. A lawyer could identify all parties responsible for the accident, other drivers, trucking companies, or governmental entities that are responsible for maintaining the road. For example, if there was not proper signage notifying drivers about a curve on the road, it could have played a part in causing the accident. Call a Lafayette personal injury lawyer today to schedule your free consultation.

Skilled personal injury attorneys could also assist with any type of accident reconstruction, if necessary. In some cases, it is necessary to hire an accident reconstructionist to come to the scene and help determine exactly what caused the accident and who is at fault. Additionally, lawyers could identify all possible sources of insurance coverage and help victims obtain any necessary medical treatment after the accident.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
