Rollover Accident

Trucking accidents are almost always catastrophic for those involved, and rollover accidents are no different. The legal weight for an 18-wheeler truck in the United States is 80,000 lb. The average car weighs around 5,000 lb. When the two collide, the truck wins every time and the driver of the car is left with catastrophic injuries. If you or a loved one have been severely hurt in a rollover truck accident, you will need all the help you can get.

A rollover accident is exactly as it sounds. A truck rolls over onto its side or roof. There are two kinds of rollover accidents: tripped and untripped. A tripped rollover refers to when an object was the cause of the rollover. For example, if a tree fell onto a road and caused a truck to flip onto its side, then that would be considered a tripped rollover accident. An untripped accident is when the rollover is caused by a maneuver by the driver. This may happen if they turn too quickly or are speeding down a slippering road.

Tripped and untripped rollovers can be caused by any number of situations. Knowing what caused the crash you were involved in is incredibly important information that may be able to be used in your claim to determine liability. Some of the more common causes include:

Whatever the cause for the accident, you or your loved one have likely been left injured, frightened, and in distress.
