The Devastating Nature Of Rollover Crashes

A rollover accident occurs when a vehicle tips onto its side or roof during a crash, often after losing stability due to factors like excessive speed, sharp turns, road conditions or design defects. According to NHTSA data, rollover crashes account for approximately one-third of all passenger vehicle occupant fatalities, despite representing only about 3 percent of all crashes involving passenger vehicles. In 2022, a total of 7,418 passenger vehicle occupants died in rollover crashes.

The physics of rollover accidents creates devastating consequences for occupants, as the vehicle’s roof structure often cannot withstand the crushing forces involved. Nearly three-fourths of occupants killed in rollover crashes were not using restraints and slightly less than two-thirds were completely ejected from the vehicle. Even when occupants survive, they frequently face permanent disabilities, traumatic brain injuries and other life-altering conditions.

Understanding Preventable Rollovers And Negligence For Compensation

Rollover accidents often result from preventable causes that create liability for various parties. Driver negligence frequently contributes to rollover crashes through excessive speed, distracted driving, impaired operation or failure to maintain control during evasive maneuvers.

Commercial truck and tractor-trailer rollovers present particularly complex liability issues due to multiple potentially responsible parties. Trucking companies may bear responsibility for inadequate driver training, unrealistic delivery schedules or failure to properly maintain vehicles. Vehicle manufacturers may face liability when design defects contribute to rollover accidents or when safety systems fail to protect occupants.

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence system, meaning injured parties can recover compensation even if they contributed to the accident, as long as their fault does not exceed 50%. However, their compensation will be reduced proportionally based on their percentage of responsibility for the crash.

Securing Compensation After A Rollover Accident

The aftermath of a rollover accident requires immediate action to protect your legal rights and build a strong compensation claim. Our lawyers begin by conducting thorough investigations to identify all potentially liable parties and gather crucial evidence before it disappears or is destroyed.

We work with accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals and industry experts to build compelling cases that demonstrate the full extent of our clients’ damages. This comprehensive approach helps us pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and long-term care needs that rollover accident victims often require.

Because rollover accidents frequently result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death, time is critical in preserving evidence and filing claims within Georgia’s statute of limitations.
