Rollover Accidents

Establishing Liability in Rollover Accident Cases

Newport Beach SUV Rollover Lawyer

Rollover accidents can cause the most serious of injuries, including fatalities. When a car, van, SUV or other motor vehicle rolls over, the occupants may be thrown about the interior. Seatbelts may not be enough to prevent a driver or passenger from striking the roof of the car. The position of the body, combined with the force and direction of movement, frequently causes head, neck and spinal cord injuries.

Factors that could cause a car, pickup truck or SUV rollover can include:

• The speed, direction and point of impact of the vehicles
• The angle at which a sideswiped car leaves the roadway
• Defects in the design of a vehicle (as has been demonstrated in some SUV rollover cases)
• Driver over-compensation in certain situations, such as when there is a tire blowout (which may be caused by tire defects)

Maximum Compensation when Injuries Are Most Serious

One reason rollovers frequently cause more serious injury than other car accidents is roof cave-in. Although passenger vehicles are engineered to withstand some pressure on the roof, when a car or SUV rolls over repeatedly, it is common for there to be some roof cave-in. Occupants who are lucky enough to escape crushing head injuries will still encounter tremendous force in the rollover that can cause serious neck, back and spinal cord injuries.

Brain, neck and back injuries are catastrophic. They typically require extensive, even long-term medical care and therapy. The injured person may have to re-learn many of the skills they previously possessed. They may no longer be able to do the job they once held. They may require round-the-clock care.

In any catastrophic injury case, it is vitally important to obtain financial compensation to pay for today's medical and therapy costs as well as any costs a disabled person may face in the future.

Your settlement agreement (or verdict) is the full amount of compensation you will receive. You cannot ask for more later, so your personal injury lawyer must understand your injury and what costs you may encounter in the long term in order to ensure the compensation will fully meet your needs.

At the Eisenberg Law Firm, we investigate all possible sources of financial compensation, including manufacturer liability if a defective tire or bad vehicle design caused an SUV rollover.
