What Causes Rollover Accidents?

Motorist, vehicle, road and/or environmental factors can all play a role in causing rollover crashes. Specifically, some of the most common causes of rollovers² include:

• Motorist impairment – Alcohol impairment is a factor in close to 50 percent of all deadly rollovers. Other forms of impairment (like driver distraction and driver fatigue) can also contribute to serious rollover wrecks.
• Speeding – Exceeding the posted speed limit is a contributing factor to about 40 percent of all deadly rollovers. About 75 percent of fatal rollover accidents occur in areas where the posted speed limit is at least 55 miles per hour (mph).
• Vehicle design – Though any vehicle can be involved in a rollover accident, narrow vehicles with higher centers of gravity are those that are most likely to rollover in crashes. Pickup trucks, vans and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) are among the vehicles that tend to be associated with higher rollover risks (in the event of an accident).

These and other factors can cause crashes like:

• Tripped rollover accidents – These occur when a vehicle’s tires hit or dig into an object (like a curb or soft soil), generating a tripping force that causes the vehicle to roll over.
• Un-tripped rollover accidents – These tend to involve top-heavy vehicles, typically when they are traveling at high speeds and/or when drivers make sudden maneuvers (like sudden swerves).

Who Is Liable for Rollover Car Accidents?

Identifying the causes of a rollover accident will be critical to determining liability. While Attorney Jennifer Bisset can review the facts of your crash and explain more regarding liability for your wreck, generally, one or more of the following parties can be liable for a rollover accident:

• Other motorists when their reckless or illegal actions are a contributing factor
• Automakers or automotive equipment manufacturers when dangerous vehicle designs or faulty vehicle parts are contributing factors
• Parties responsible for constructing and/or maintaining safe roads when unsafe roads are contributing factors.

If rollover victims may have been partly at fault for the accident, they CAN still be entitled to compensation under Colorado law. This is due to Colorado’s 50 percent Bar Rule, which entitles accident victims to financial recovery as long as they were 49 percent or less at fault for the accident (i.e., as long as another party is more at fault than the victim).

What Type of Compensation Is Available for Rollover Accident Victims?

The nature of a crash and the resulting damage will determine the type of compensation that victims may be entitled to. Generally, rollover accident victims can be eligible for damages that include (and may not be restricted to):

• Past and future medical bills
• Past and future lost earnings
• Damaged or destroyed property
• Loss of consortium
• Pain and suffering.

In the event of fatal rollovers, surviving loved ones may also be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial expenses.

Of course, compensation cannot change the past or make up for permanent injuries and losses. It can, however, help rollover victims get treatment, focus on healing and start putting their lives back together.
