Boca Raton Rollover Accident Lawyer

If you were injured in a rollover accident, you may face expensive medical bills and a long rehabilitation process. Until you fully recover, you may have to miss work and lose valuable income as a result. If your injuries were caused by the actions or negligence of another person, you may be entitled to recover damages to compensate you for your loss.

Insurance companies and defense counsel could attempt to minimize your car accident settlement, but the experienced Boca Raton car accident attorneys at Kogan & DiSalvo could help you recover the compensation you need. We can fight on your behalf while you focus on recovery.

What is a Rollover Accident?

A rollover accident occurs any time that a motor vehicle is no longer upright on its four wheels. It may be on its side, on its roof, or the vehicle may have rolled over completely and ended up back on its wheels. If a vehicle is moved from being on all four wheels to some other position, that would be a rollover accident.

Common Fact Patterns

In a rollover accident, the victim was often broadsided or T-boned, meaning that the side of the victim’s car was impacted and pushed over or completely around. In some circumstances, off-center impacts or even rear-impacts can also cause a rollover.

The rollover does not always need to be caused by a third party; it could be caused by the driver of the car or even the vehicle itself. There are other ways that a rollover can occur, such as:

  • Sudden swerving
  • Hydroplaning
  • Impacting an object
  • Manufacture defect or mechanical problems.

A mechanical issue could cause one side of the car to stop turning or one tire to blow out, causing the center of gravity to shift and the car to roll over.

Sometimes, going around turns at excessive speeds can also cause a rollover. If a rollover victim was a passenger in such a car and the driver was negligent in maintaining control of the car, the passenger would have a claim for the negligent operation of the vehicle they are in. A Boca Raton rollover accident lawyer could examine the facts of your case and explain how negligence applies to your situation.

Unique Aspects of Rollover Cases

Rollover accidents tend to be more violent and jarring than other accidents. The injuries tend to be more severe, and it can be much more of a traumatic experience for the victim. In a rollover accident, an individual is typically looking at significant property damage, including glass explosions and the resulting glass debris. Everything that is not tied down in the car is going to be flying around, causing further injuries to the occupants. For example, a glass bottle of soda in the car could be flying around, and that could hit the person and cause additional injuries.

Rollover accidents are dynamic and powerful experiences that should not be taken lightly. They can result in extensive damages and injuries.
