Los Angeles Rollover Accident Attorney

Vehicle rollover accidents happen every day, with a high percentage of those accidents ending with driver and passenger personal injuries. Rollovers are especially common in Sport Utility Vehicles (“SUVs”). With the rising popularity of SUVs in America, the amount of rollover accident litigation is also increasing. The attorneys at Estey & Bomberger, LLP have won large settlements and verdicts for clients seriously injured or had a family killed in rollover accidents (view case results page).

What causes a car rollover crash? Because of their high center of gravity and narrow track, rollovers are much more likely to occur in SUVs. There are many causes for car and SUV rollovers, including, but not limited to:

  • Bald tires and tire blowouts;
  • Sudden, sharp turns ;
  • Negligent road design; and
  • Wet, snowy, or icy conditions.

Many times, it is some combination of these common factors. In general, the faster a car or SUV is going, the more likely it is to roll over. What may begin as a “spinout” can easily become a rollover if a car or SUV “trips” on a soft shoulder, uneven ground, another car, or a guard rail.

Fatalities often occur in a rollover accident when the SUV is upside down and the roof crushes or cave in. Head trauma is the most common injury in both fatal and non-fatal SUV rollover crashes. See our types of injuries page for more information.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 75% of all automobile rollovers are single car accidents. If a rollover accident involves multiple vehicles, legal matters are further complicated. An attorney can help you determine your legal rights.

Every major SUV manufacturer has been involved in lawsuits over SUV rollover accidents claiming manufacturing defects, poor design engineering, and negligence.  These manufactures include Toyota, GMC, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, Ford, and many others. Automakers have been forced to pay millions of dollars in wrongful death and serious injury claims.

Although less than 5% of automobile accidents involve car rollovers, about 1/3 of automobile deaths are from rollover crashes. A driver or passenger is twice as likely to die in single vehicle crash if the vehicle rolls over.

If you do not know how to begin assessing your case, a California rollover accident specialty lawyer can help you determine whether or not you may have a possible claim.  You may be offered a settlement by an insurance adjuster.  A consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can determine whether or not the settlement offer is fair.

Your rollover case may involve overwhelming details that are hard to understand.  You may be unsure how to prove lost wages, or not know what to do if another party files counter charges against you.  The knowledgeable attorneys at Estey & Bomberger, LLP work on a contingency fee basis.  There is never a fee unless they obtain a settlement or judgment for you.

The circumstances and details surrounding a rollover crash are often much more complicated than a front, side, or rear impact crash. It can be difficult for a driver alone to prove liability and negligence.  In many cases, the accident might be caused by a manufacturing defect either on your car or another party’s vehicle.  A rollover attorney will have the resources to be able to determine who is responsible for your injuries or a loved one’s death.

An experienced Los Angeles area rollover accident attorney at Estey & Bomberger, LLP can help you determine your legal options if you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one as a result of a vehicle rollover accident. Their dedicated, knowledgeable lawyers will consult with automobile defect and car crash experts to determine who is responsible for your accident. If a settlement cannot be reached quickly, they will bring your case to court.
