One particularly dangerous type of vehicle accident is the rollover wreck. While rollovers are fairly rare, they typically result in more severe injuries than other types of accidents, and they have a high fatality rate.
Of the approximately 9 million car, pickup truck, van, and SUV accidents that happened in a recent year, only 2 percent were rollovers, according to NHTSA.gov. However, that same year, rollover accidents accounted for more than 35 percent of all passenger vehicle fatalities. That means rollovers resulted in more than 7,600 deaths in a single year.

Several factors can contribute to rollover crashes, including:
Certain types of accidents are most likely to result in a vehicle rollover. A rollover that involves a collision is called a tripped rollover. Hitting an unmovable object with enough force can cause the car to flip over and roll. When a vehicle is hit from the side by another vehicle, especially at an intersection in a T-bone accident, the struck vehicle may roll over.
A rollover that only involves one vehicle is known as an un-tripped rollover. Up to 40 percent of all fatal rollover accidents involve excessive speed. Un-tripped rollovers often happen when drivers make a sudden swerve or attempt a turn that is too sharp or extreme for the speeds they are traveling.
After a rollover accident, check to see if anyone needs first aid, and then call 911 for help. Everyone involved in the crash should be seen by a physician because they may be suffering from internal injures with delayed physical onset. After an initial ER visit, make sure to attend all follow-up medical appointments and keep records of your medical care and rehabilitative treatments.
As soon as you feel up to it, reach out to an experienced lawyer. Always remember that insurance companies want to make money. In many cases, they will offer you a lowball settlement that won’t even cover the cost of your injuries. They may even ask you to give a statement about the accident and then use it against you. Let your Virginia personal injury attorney use his experience to get you a fair settlement to pay for all your medical care and other expenses.
Rollover accidents often result in devastating consequences, including:
Several different people may be held liable for a victim’s medical bills and other costs because of a rollover accident, including:
