Rollovers are some of the most devastating car accidents because the roof of the car is taking the brunt of an impact rather than the front or back of the vehicle.
Common Fact Patterns
Rollover accidents often occur when vehicles lose control and run off the road. That is true for single-car accidents, but rollovers also can occur as a result of an impact.
Because the top of the vehicle receives some of the impact in a rollover accident, victims may have an increased risk of head trauma compared to rear- or side-impact collisions. Rollovers can lead to spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or even death.
