Rollover Accidents

People depend on the design of their vehicles to keep them out of harm’s way. When a vehicle rolls over due to an accident or as a result of trying to avoid an accident, the risk of being seriously injured is dramatically increased. A rollover accident occurs when a vehicle loses stability on the ground and turns over on its side or makes several revolutions.

Rollover accidents have serious financial and legal consequences. For more information on rollover accidents and compensation available to victims, contact the Des Moines rollover accident attorneys of LaMarca & Landry, P.C. today at 877-327-2600.

Types of Rollover Accidents

The most rollover-prone vehicle on the road today is the sport utility vehicle or SUV. This is due to the top-heavy design of the SUV. When a driver comes to an immediate stop or makes a very fast turn, he or she may inadvertently cause the vehicle to rollover. Accidents that result in rollovers usually involve:

• Drivers ramming the side of a vehicle
• Excessive driving speeds
• Drivers attempting to steer a vehicle from an oncoming accident
• Road Hazards
• Defective vehicle designs

Victims of rollover accidents may be eligible for compensation covering medical costs, punitive costs, disability, and lost wages.
