What Types of Vehicles Roll Over in a Crash?

All vehicles, including regular passenger cars, have the potential to roll over during an accident. However, there are some vehicles that are more likely to roll over during a high-speed collision, including pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs).

Trucks and SUVs are more likely to roll over because of the way they’re designed and manufactured. These vehicles are built with narrower tracks than regular cars, meaning there’s less distance between the left and right sides of the vehicle. They’re also high up from the ground, creating an unstable center of gravity.

Causes of Rollover Accidents

In addition to the type of vehicle, there are other factors that can play a significant role in the occurrence of rollover accidents.

These factors include the following human and environmental issues:

Driver error
Poor road design
Road conditions
Speed of the vehicle
Vehicle defects

Vehicle rollovers can occur in a wide range of circumstances and as a result of numerous causes. There are both direct and indirect causes that may increase the risk of these incidents.

Causes of a rollover could include:

Vehicle connects with an object and tips over. (e.g., guardrail, median, or curb)
Driver turns too sharply while traveling at high speeds
Side impact from a multi-vehicle crash
Distracted driving
Driving under the influence
Oversteering

Other contributing factors may include drowsiness, inattention, inexperience, and/or overloaded cargo.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the majority of rollover accidents involve only one vehicle.

What Injuries Are Common in Rollover Accidents?

Rollover accidents are one of the most dangerous types of crashes, accounting for a significant portion of all fatal highway accidents. Those who survive these serious accidents are often left with lingering injuries.

Common injuries from rollover accidents include:

Broken bones
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain damage
Organ damage
Head/neck injuries
Cuts and lacerations
Bruises and contusions
Burns
Internal bleeding

These injuries may lead to long-term medical issues, including chronic pain, paralysis, nerve damage, or other disabilities. No matter the type of injury, Shaked Law can help you fight to get what you’re owed so you don’t have to bear the financial burden on your own.

How to Increase Survival

Statistics show that how an individual reacts during and after a rollover accident has a significant impact on the severity of the injuries incurred.

During a rollover accident you should brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly against the back of the floorboard. Press your body back against the seat and do not lean forward or attempt to cover your head.

There are several other steps drivers can take to prevent serious injuries or even death in the event of a rollover accident.

Vehicle Safety Features

Drivers should choose a vehicle that is designed with modern, advanced safety features to prevent injuries in the event of a serious collision, including side airbags and electronic stability control.

Wear a Seatbelt

The chance of sustaining life-threatening injuries is significantly increased when a body is ejected from a vehicle. Wearing a seatbelt is the simplest and smartest way to protect yourself in the event of a vehicle rollover.

Remain Calm

The smartest thing you can do is remain calm during and after the accident. Turn off the engine if it is safe to do so.

Who Is Liable for Rollover Accidents?

There are several parties who may be responsible for injuries from a rollover accident.

Liable parties may include:
Another driver
City organizations (road defects)
Automobile manufacturer (vehicle defects)

Our personal injury lawyers at Shaked Law will review the evidence in your case to determine which parties may be held responsible for your injuries.
