Most rollover accidents occur because of an incident such as another car striking the vehicle or some other type of pre-rollover impact. However, close to a quarter of vehicles rolled without this preliminary impact, according to the IIHS.
Rollover accidents are some of the most serious crashes that happen on U.S. roadways. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported 6,700 passenger vehicle occupant deaths in rollover crashes during the most recent year for which data is available.
Rollovers can happen in any car, but are more likely in top-heavy vehicles, such as SUVs, vans, large trucks, and buses. Rollovers can lead to crushing injuries or result in occupants being ejected from the car, both of which significantly increase the risk of a fatality in the accident. There are many causes of rollover accidents, and it’s important to determine who is at fault.
Who Is At Fault For A Rollover Accident in Thornton?
When a rollover crash happens, it is important to determine who is at fault. There are a few likely defendants who may be to blame and held liable for losses:
- If you were in a vehicle that rolled because someone else struck the car, you could potentially pursue a claim for damages against the driver of that car if you can show they were negligent or violated the rules of the road. Colorado fault laws allow you to recover compensation from drivers responsible for crash-related losses.
- If you were in a vehicle that rolled because of a problem with the car’s design, you could make a case against the vehicle manufacturer. You don’t have to show negligence in defective product cases — just that the product caused harm when used as intended
- If you were in another vehicle on the road that rolled over and impacted your vehicle, you could pursue a claim against the driver responsible for the incident that led to your damages
- If you were a passenger in a vehicle that rolled over, and the driver did something wrong or unsafe, you could make a claim against the driver
Ridder Law can help you to investigate the evidence surrounding your case, to obtain police reports, to interview witnesses, and to find experts who can prove who was to blame for the incident. We’ll work to identify all possible defendants we can take action against to maximize the chances you’ll be fully compensated for losses.
