Rollover Accidents Can Cause Traumatic Injuries

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) splits rollover accidents into two categories: tripped and un-tripped accidents. About 95% of rollover accidents are considered tripped, in that the vehicle tips over sideways and either falls over onto soft soil or hits a guardrail.

Untripped rollover accidents are rarer, occurring at only five percent, and generally affect top-heavy vehicles. These accidents occur when vehicles turn or swerve at high speeds and lose balance.

Both types of rollover accidents can cause injuries, such as:

If you sustained an injury in a rollover accident, consider working with a lawyer to help you pursue compensation for your medical expenses and other damages.

If Your Case Led to Your Loved One’s Death

Some rollover accidents may result in death. According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), over 2,500 rollover accidents resulted in a fatality in 2017, accounting for eight percent of all total fatal crashes. Similarly, the NHTSA reports that two factors had major involvement in rollover accidents: speeding (about 40 percent of crashes) and alcohol (about 50 percent of crashes).

Family members mourning the loss of a loved one may pursue compensation if they qualify under California law. According to the California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) §337.60, you might be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit if you are the decedent’s:

  • Spouse or registered domestic partner
  • Child, including stepchild
  • A parent or legal guardian
  • Personal representative if no surviving spouses, domestic partners, children, parents, or legal guardians remain

Losing someone you love is always difficult. The team at Jacoby & Meyers Law Offices understands that pursuing a legal case can feel overwhelming, and we are available to help explain your options.

How Long You Have to File

Your time to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is limited. Plaintiffs must submit their cases within applicable filing deadlines set by statutes of limitations. This deadline varies by state and case type, so you may consider consulting a legal professional if your accident took place outside of California.

In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury or death to file your lawsuit, per CCP §335.1. If you do not file your case on time, you may lose the ability to pursue a claim.

You Might Be Owed More Compensation than You Realize

Some people think the only compensation they may receive is for vehicle repair bills and may question whether pursuing a claim is worthwhile. However, compensation may include a range of damages depending on the circumstances. A lawyer can help assess your damages and explain how claims are evaluated.

You might be able to seek compensation for damages related to your injuries, such as:

  • Medical treatment expenses, including costs for emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and medicine
  • Lost income if you are unable to work during recovery
  • Mileage costs for traveling to doctor’s appointments or treatment services
  • Costs for assisted living services if your injuries affect your ability to perform daily activities

You might also be able to seek compensation for damages related to your vehicle and other property:

  • Costs for repairing your vehicle or damaged property
  • The cash value of your vehicle, if it was totaled
  • Transportation costs, if you needed to pay for alternative modes of transportation while your car was being repaired

If you lost a loved one in a rollover accident, you might be able to seek compensation for:

  • Funeral costs, including costs for their burial or cremation
  • Your loved one’s medical debts, if they received treatment for their fatal injuries
  • Loss of financial support from your loved one
  • Loss of consortium

Depending on your case, you may also seek compensation for pain and suffering. A lawyer can explain these damages in more detail.
