Vehicle rollovers are some of the most serious of all car crashes. Following a rollover accident a person can suffer debilitating injuries. Death rates are higher in rollover cases than with any other type of auto accident.

There are two general categories of rollover accidents:

Design Defect: Some rollover accidents result from a design defect in the vehicle itself. Sport utility rollovers are the most common example of a rollover lawsuit based upon a poor vehicle design. These vehicles are engineered with a high center of gravity. As a result, they are more prone to tipping and rolling than more traditional automobiles. Studies demonstrate that SUV rollovers are three times more common than rollover accidents involving a car.

Negligence: Some rollovers result from the negligence of others. Some drivers fail to yield, drive inattentively, are tired, intoxicated or otherwise careless in the operation of their vehicle. This can lead to a crash in which the vehicles violently rollover, causing serious injuries or death.

In a rollover lawsuit, experts are crucial. It is critical that an injured party demonstrate precisely how and why the rollover occurred. This may include retaining top accident reconstructionists and/or vehicle engineers.

If you've been injured in a rollover accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses, including medical bills, lost wages, replacement service benefits, pain and suffering and, in some cases, punitive damages.

No reputable lawyer will promise you anything up front. It is simply impossible to offer a specific dollar figure just days after an accident. At best, an attorney may be able to gage the severity of your case and offer a range of recovery based upon their experience. There are literally dozens of factors that play a role in your recovery. A few of them are discussed below.

At the onset, no demand should ever made until the full extent of your injuries is known and you have had adequate time to recover from them. You only get one chance at resolving your claim. Unfortunately, many clients do not ever fully recover, and their injuries are permanent in nature. A permanent injury is valued much higher than a temporary condition, usually.

Another important aspect of your claim involves the amount of insurance carried by you and the at-fault driver. Sometimes, there is adequate coverage to compensate you. Other times, unfortunately, there is not. The value of your recovery can be limited by the amount of insurance available.

Yet another aspect of how much you may be compensated involves who the insurance companies are. Some companies will negotiate in good faith and make meaningful offers to settle claims. Others, however, will attempt to pay out as little as possible and make injury survivors fight for every dollar. The latter is much more typical, and can result in a lower net recovery.

Finally, one of the golden rules in injury cases is that a case is worth what a jury says it’s worth. Juries today are very unpredictable. Every client has a story to tell. The best way to receive fair compensation for your loss is to retain a skilled advocate to explain your situation to a group of jurors.
