Houston Rollover Accident Lawyer

Vehicle Rollovers in Houston

A vehicle rollover is one of the most dangerous types of car, SUV or van accidents, often leading to severe or permanent injuries or fatalities. According to the authorities, rollovers are the cause of almost 50% of single vehicle accidents in the country. There are a number of possible contributing factors that led to the rollover, including design flaws in the vehicle itself, making it inherently unsafe due to a high center of gravity when a driver must quickly swerve to avoid a road hazard or other vehicle. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a rollover accident, it is imperative that you seek representation from a Houston personal injury lawyer from Kennedy Hodges, LLP to assist you.

Rollovers and Flipped Vehicle Injury Claims in Houston

Other rollovers or flipped vehicle accidents are caused by a driver who jerks the wheel too far when trying to avoid a problem in the road ahead. Certain vehicles are more prone to flip over when they hit a median or guardrail, or when they run into any uneven road surface such as a ditch when forced off the road in an accident. Many injury accidents are the result of the negligent driving of another person that forced a driver to swerve to avoid impact, leading to a rollover accident.

Many innocent people suffer serious injuries in rollover accidents, and a large number of them are the result of negligent, reckless or dangerous driving by another vehicle operator who shares the road. Even with the most modern of safety systems, including air bags, steel frames, seat belts, a rollover accident is exceptionally dangerous, as a roof crush can lead to head and brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe internal injuries, multiple broken bones and death. Safety systems can fail, including seat belts, leading to a victim being thrown from the vehicle. In any rollover injury accident, liability must be established.
