Rollover Accidents
In recent years, rollover accidents have gained wide exposure in the news media. Rollover accidents include any automobile accident that causes the vehicle flip onto its roof. These accidents are often deadly, and certain vehicles are more susceptible to rollovers than others.
In some cases, negligence may factor into rollover cases. If you or someone you love suffered injuries in a rollover accident, contact the Clearwater auto accident attorneys of Tragos & Sartes, P.L. at 727-441-9030 to learn if negligence may have been to blame.
Road Hazards and Rollover Accidents
While sports utility vehicles are naturally more susceptible to rollovers due to their high center of gravity, other vehicles suffer from design defects that may make them at higher risk for rollovers. Additionally, certain road hazards and defects may cause drivers to flip their vehicles. These include:
- Potholes
- Shoulder drop-offs
- Damaged guardrails
Individuals who suffer rollovers either because of design flaws in their vehicles or defects in the road should hold the responsible individuals accountable for their negligence. Before pursuing legal action, victims are encouraged to discuss their cases with an experienced legal professional.
Depending on the cause of the rollover, an auto manufacturer or municipality may be at fault.
