Understanding Why Rollover Accidents Occur
Some driving situations that can lead to a rollover crash include:
Unsafe Road Conditions
If a road crew fails to fix a large pothole or leaves a temporary curb in the roadway, someone could strike these items and end up in a single car rollover accident.
Forced off the Road
If a driver fails to maintain a lane and drifts into another lane, the other person may have to drive on the shoulder to avoid a collision, and their car could roll down an embankment.
Intersection Accident
If someone drives a car with a higher center of gravity, their chances of having the car roll over after being hit from the side increase.
Loss of Control
Someone might have to swerve suddenly to avoid a reckless driver or because they have a tire that bursts. This movement could cause them to lose control as the car flips over.
Rollover accidents nearly always involve quite a bit of force. If you are fortunate, your car will only tip once onto its side or top, which can be unnerving. However, this does not place a large amount of force on the body.
In an extremely serious rollover accident, your car may roll over several times, creating significant force on your body and leaving you with life-altering injuries.

Figuring Out Which Party Is Liable
One of the key aspects of filing a personal injury case after a rollover accident in which you suffered an injury is proving that another driver or party created the situation that led to the accident.
Some of the ways in which you and your Stonecrest rollover accident lawyer can prove liability include:
Traffic Violation
You can show that the driver who hit you was behaving illegally before the crash, such as by speeding, ignoring a stop sign, driving recklessly, or failing to maintain a lane, creating liability for the other driver.
Fatigued or Drunk Driving
A tired or intoxicated driver may fail to maintain his or her lane, forcing you to leave the roadway before rolling the car, meaning the other driver is liable.
Unsafe Roadway
Debris or fixtures left in the roadway after a construction project can cause a rollover accident, which means the road department that performed the project could be liable.
Vehicle Malfunction
If a car manufacturer makes an error in the vehicle’s design, this flaw could cause you to lose control of the car, meaning the manufacturer may be liable.
Depending on the circumstances, more than one party could be found liable. At Bader Scott Injury Lawyers, we will study the facts in the case to determine exactly which party (or parties) could be held liable.
Understand that as a victim in a personal injury case, you have up to two years to start the process of filing a claim against the negligent party, according to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. We will help you keep your claim on track, meeting all deadlines.

Receive the Compensation You Deserve
After an accident involving a rollover crash, you could face a number of injuries that will cause lingering pain and health problems for you. The amount of compensation you could be entitled to is dependent on the severity of your injuries.
The insurance company may balk at paying you what you deserve. After all, insurers are for-profit companies that want to pay as little as possible in settlements to victims.
Nothing in Georgia state law requires victims of car accidents to hire legal representation. You are free to attempt to negotiate with the insurance company on your own.
However, after a rollover accident that involves life-changing injuries, the insurance company almost certainly will have multiple adjusters and lawyers on its side to try to reduce the amount via a settlement it must pay. You can attempt to even the playing field by hiring a Stonecrest rollover accident lawyer to represent you.
