Dallas Rollover Accident Attorney
Attorney for Victims Injured in Texas Rollover Accidents
Rollover accidents can be among the most frightening and dangerous types of motor vehicle accidents. They can occur when the combination of speed, weight, and height of a turning vehicle is too great to keep all wheels on the road, or the vehicle is struck at an angle that forces the vehicle over. A rollover can happen in any vehicle, however, they are more likely to occur in SUVs and pickup trucks, given their higher center of gravity. While they represent a small percentage of all car crashes, they account for a disproportionately high number of severe injuries and deaths on America's roads. The injuries resulting from a rollover accident can be severe and life-changing, requiring considerable compensation to cover the cost of medical care for serious injuries and to make up for lost wages and benefits.

Valley Ranch Lawyer for SUV Rollover Accidents
While a rollover can happen in any vehicle, some designs are more likely to roll over than others. A high center of gravity, narrow wheelbases or a combination of these characteristics make a vehicle more prone to rollover accidents. High speed can play a role in rollover crashes, but it is not always the determining factor. The safety records of vehicles like pickup trucks and SUVs show a higher number of rollover accidents.
The force of the accident and the weight of the vehicle can cause the roof to collapse in, causing catastrophic injury or death. The driver and passengers may be thrown from the vehicle, often causing injuries to the head and spine. Faulty fuel systems which ignite can also lead to burn injuries. If a vehicle in a rollover accident was built with defective auto parts, vehicle damage and the resulting catastrophic injuries or deaths are more likely to occur.
