Rollover Accidents

Preventing Rollovers

Rollover car accidents are more common in top-heavy sports utility vehicles (SUVs). To combat the prevalence of rollover accidents, electronic stability control (ESC) is now standard in most SUVs. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, SUVs with ESC are involved in 67% fewer accidents. However, ESC was not standard until the mid-2000s, and many vehicles manufactured without this technology are still on the road.

Rollover accidents are unique in that they are often single-vehicle occurrences. This may be because a vehicle comes into contact with debris or other roadway dangers. It can make establishing liability incredibly difficult. To establish liability in these cases, you need a car accident attorney on your side for your car accident case.

Single-Vehicle Accidents

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 90 percent of fatal single-vehicle rollover accidents occur when a driver is engaged in standard driving maneuvering. This means that a majority of these accidents are not caused by factors such as distraction, speeding, negligence, or even alcohol.

Many rollover accidents are a result of poor vehicle design or roadway dangers. The only way to determine the cause of a rollover accident and ensure the proper party is held liable is with the help of an experienced auto accident attorney to support you with your lawsuit.
