Car Accident Lawyer Summarizes Minnesota SUV Rollover Accident Issues
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.
