Steps to Take After a Boca Raton Rollover Accident

Rollover accidents can be traumatic experiences, and the individuals involved often face serious injuries. If you were involved in an accident caused by another person’s actions or negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, injuries, and other difficulties. The experienced Rollover accident attorneys at Kogan & DiSalvo understand what steps to take after a rollover accident, and they could fight on your behalf while you focus on recovery.

Unique Risks in Rollover Accidents

The biggest risk in a rollover accident is if the person is not using the safety equipment properly. If the drivers and passengers are not wearing a seatbelt or a shoulder harness, they could end up with catastrophic injuries by being ejected from the vehicle. Even with safety equipment, however, there is often an elevated or exaggerated level of injury in rollover accidents.

In many accidents, there is a single impact, and the victim sustains injuries based on that one impact trauma. In contrast, rollover accidents involve multiple individual impacts to the vehicle, which can exacerbate the injury that was caused by the initial impact. A victim experiences a series of impacts that can accumulate into serious injuries.

Documenting a Rollover Accident in Boca Raton

There are several important steps to take after a Boca Raton rollover accident. As with any accident in, it is imperative to wait for the police department to let them come to the scene and investigate, collect statements, and then decide who is at fault. Although we are required to move our vehicles from the travel lanes to get them off to the side of the road, that may not be possible after a rollover accident. The best course of action is to wait for the police, allow police to document the vehicles’ locations, and then have the vehicle removed to an appropriate storage lot.

It can also be important to document the evidence of your rollover car accident. Property damage photographs taken later will show a vehicle upright with damage to it, but the photographs of the vehicle lying on its side or roof can be very dramatic to a jury in explaining the forces involved in the collision.
