What Causes Rollover Accidents?
Rollover accidents can happen in an instant, and they often have devastating consequences. Some of the most common causes of rollover accidents include:
- High-Speed Collisions: Excessive speed, especially on highways or sharp turns, increases the likelihood of a rollover.
- Tripped Rollovers: When a vehicle’s tires hit a curb, guardrail, or uneven pavement, it can cause the vehicle to flip.
- Tire Blowouts: A sudden tire failure can cause the driver to lose control and rollover.
- SUV and Truck Instability: Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, are more prone to rollovers.
- Defective Vehicle Design: Poor vehicle design or faulty safety features can increase the risk of a rollover accident.
- Driver Negligence: Distracted driving, reckless maneuvers, or impaired driving can lead to dangerous rollovers.
- Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, debris, and other hazardous road conditions can contribute to rollover crashes.
Common Injuries in Rollover Accidents
Due to the violent nature of rollover accidents, victims often suffer life-changing injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries and paralysis, broken bones and fractures, internal organ damage, severe burns and lacerations, amputations, and wrongful death. If you or a loved one has sustained injuries in a rollover accident, you need an experienced lawyer to hold the responsible parties accountable and secure the compensation you need for medical treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Who Is Liable for a Rollover Accident in Maryland?
Determining liability in a rollover accident can be complex, but our experienced lawyers investigate every angle to identify the responsible party, which may include, for example, negligent drivers, vehicle manufacturers, tire or auto part manufacturers, government entities, or trucking companies. If another driver’s reckless actions caused your rollover, they can be held accountable, provided you can prove their negligence and establish it as the cause of the crash. Meanwhile, if a defect in the vehicle’s design or safety features contributed to the accident, the manufacturer may be liable. Similarly, defective tires or faulty vehicle components can lead to dangerous rollovers.
Additionally, poorly maintained roads, lack of warning signs, or dangerous intersections may make a city or state agency liable. Likewise, if a commercial truck was improperly loaded or the driver was negligent, the trucking company may be responsible. With so many variables at play, getting help from an experienced car accident injury lawyer is key to holding the right party or parties accountable for the damage their action or inaction has caused.
How Maryland’s Laws Impact Your Case
Maryland has strict personal injury laws that make it essential to have a skilled lawyer handling your claim. These include:
- Contributory Negligence Rule: If the insurance company can prove that you were even 1% at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering compensation. Our lawyers know how to fight back against these tactics and build a strong case in your favor.
- Statute of Limitations: You have only three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can result in losing your right to recover damages.
- Insurance Company Tactics: Insurance companies often try to minimize their payouts by disputing liability, downplaying your injuries, or pressuring you into accepting a low settlement. We won’t let them take advantage of you.
