Maitland Car Accident Lawyer

 

A Maitland, FL car accident lawyer understands how frightening rollover accidents can be. These are also among the most dangerous when it comes to the potential for injuries and fatalities, as well as one of the most complex to litigate. Rollover accidents often leave victims suffering from serious or life-threatening injuries. Victims can even be left with long-term or permanent disabilities. The following is a brief overview of rollover accidents. For more detailed information, contact Presser Law to find out what your rights as a victim are and how we can help you pursue damages for your losses.

Some Vehicles are Prone to Rollover

Although any vehicle can be involved in a rollover accident, some are more prone to tipping than others. Generally, it is vehicles that are considered “top-heavy,” such as sport utility vehicles (SUVs), minivans, pick-up trucks, and full-size vans. These vehicles are narrower, taller, and have a higher center of gravity, which is why they are more susceptible to flipping in a crash.

Turns, Curves, and Uneven Road Surfaces

Turns, curves, and uneven surfaces, such as curbs and construction zones are also common causes of rollover accidents. A Maitland car accident lawyer knows the risk is even higher for vehicles that are prone to rollover. Sadly, this could come into play in situations involving construction zone negligence and negligence on the part of another driver. Examples might include swerving to avoid a drunk driver, running over a curb to avoid hitting a driver that suddenly swerves into the lane, or being side-swiped while attempting to make a turn.

Environmental Conditions

Driving in rain, sleet, snow, or other hazardous road or weather conditions can also increase the risk of a rollover accident, again, especially for vehicles that are prone to flipping. To make matters worse, severe weather conditions increase the overall risk of a driver losing control of the vehicle because of their speed or maneuvers. In short, any driver that is negligent during such conditions is exponentially increasing the risk of death or injury to the drivers around them.

Drunk Drivers

Drunk drivers increase the risk of accidents for every other driver on the road. They can also increase the risk of a rollover accident, especially for those driving vehicles that are prone to flipping. Unfortunately, some of these accidents end up being hit-and-run crashes, which can even further complicate matters. In these situations, it is crucial that you find experienced legal assistance with your claim.
