Who’s to blame for your vehicle rollover accident?

It’s always best to speak with an experienced car accident lawyer in a situation like this. We’ve already discussed the role that road conditions and vehicle designs can play in causing a rollover accident. If you believe that any of these factors are to blame for your injuries, you have every right to seek legal action. Here’s what you can do in the meantime to start building your case:

Take pictures and make videos of the scene: Photographic evidence can go a long way toward proving your account of the accident.
Talk to any witnesses who may have seen the accident: Get their names and contact information.
Avoid admitting or implying self-blame for the accident: A moment’s indiscretion can come back to haunt you later.

Vehicle Rollover Settlements

What type of compensation can you expect to receive for your injuries and related expenses? Providing an exact answer to this question without knowing the details of your case is impossible. However, here are some of the parties that may be wholly or partly responsible for your accident:

The vehicle manufacturer: For failing to address safety concerns in the vehicle’s design and manufacturing defects.
The shop that services your vehicle: Investigators for our law firm will determine if faulty maintenance played a role in causing your accident.
The highway or transportation department: For allowing road conditions to deteriorate, contributing to your crash.
Other involved drivers: For causing you to skid, swerve, or otherwise lose control of your vehicle.

As you can see, a vehicle rollover case can quickly become too complex for drivers to manage independently. That’s why we recommend contacting the experienced Virginia car accident lawyers at Rutter Mills as soon as possible to discuss your case. Our expertise can make all the difference in getting the compensation you deserve.

Put our expertise to work for you by contacting us today. Consultations are free, and we’re available 24/7 for your convenience.

If your phone is nearby, you should call the police and, if necessary, EMTs. Don’t try to administer first aid unless you’re confident in your abilities.

Most vehicle rollovers involve only one automobile. If others were affected by the crash, you should do everything you reasonably can to aid them.

Accidents like these can have catastrophic impacts. Make sure you speak with an experienced car accident injury attorney.

Common Causes of Vehicle Rollover Accidents

A common misconception is that most vehicle rollovers are caused by motorists taking a curve at high speed. In reality, 95% of rollover accidents are caused by external conditions such as:

Potholes: When highway departments or maintenance workers fail to do their jobs, innocent people often pay the price.

Eroding or deteriorating road shoulders: A road shoulder creates a narrow “buffer zone” for drivers who must exit their lane for safety reasons. But shoulders are notorious for developing dips and depressions that can cause a rollover accident.
Defective tires: Automotive tires are expected to meet rigid safety standards. But all too often, a tire fails at the worst possible moment, either due to faulty design or poor installation.

Christin B.

I wish I had called Rutter Mills from the beginning. I tried to deal with the insurance company myself, big mistake. Adam Lotkin and his paralegal Ruth Simmons were amazing. They walked me through the process and got me a settlement almost ten times the offer from the insurance company. Trust Rutter Mills, you won't be disappointed!

Jim B

100% praise and ZERO complaints.

Dorian F.

Joe Young and Kathy Saunders were the absolute best. They kept me informed and properly communicated all information with me in a timely manner. They also were able to get me the amount I requested without going back and forth with me. They were a true pleasure to work with and for this reason I will continue to do business with Rutter Mills.

Cody W.

First off I want to thank Rutter Mills for the outstanding work they continue to do. I had a case recently and it was a complex one. My lawyer, Will Nexsen did an amazing job. I would highly recommend him and Rutter Mills. I want to give a big thanks to Julia, as well, for keeping me constantly in the loop. She always texted or called me back immediately with any questions and concerns I had. I greatly appreciated that.

Mary W.

I highly recommend this law firm. They treated not only me, but my husband like family. Heather Bell was very helpful and nice. Eric Porcaro is a great attorney. Together they were wonderful, professional, and caring people. They worked very hard for our case.
