Las Vegas Car Accident Lawyers: Rollovers

Our client was traveling on Highway 160 in Nevada when the tire blew out, causing the vehicle to fishtail and roll over three times, eventually leaving the freeway. Our client suffered a concussion and significant neck injuries as a result of the rollover accident. Harris & Harris Lawyers thoroughly investigated the accident and filed lawsuits against Ford and the tire manufacturer for personal injury and product liability recovery. We successfully recovered $750,000 on behalf of our client during pretrial negotiations.

Rollover accidents can be attributed to a number of factors.

• Tire defects: When tires have worn tread, are under-inflated, or are otherwise defective, it can cause a tire blowout. At fast speeds, such as on a highway or freeway, a tire blowout could potentially cause the vehicle to rollover, causing severe damage like crushing the roof into the driver or passenger. Tire defects are frequently to blame for both single vehicle and multi-vehicle car accidents.
• T-bone accidents: When a speeding car or truck barrels into another vehicle, such as at an intersection, the mere force of the speeding vehicle can cause the t-boned vehicle to flip over and scrape across the pavement or collide into other vehicles.
• SUV rollovers: The high center of gravity in sport utility vehicles (SUVs) can create vehicle instability. A tire blowout, a minor collision with another vehicle or a sudden change in terrain can cause the SUV to rollover.
• ATV rollovers: Recreational vehicles and off-road vehicles leave the rider unprotected. When an ATV crashes into a tree, stump, hill or other obstruction, the vehicle can tip and then roll over the rider, crushing bones and doing severe damage. ATV riders could also be thrown off the vehicle in the event of a collision, their bodies smashing into rocks, trees or pavement.

The nature of rollover accidents generally leads to more severe injuries, especially when the vehicle rolls over multiple times or the roof crushes into the passengers. Our law firm works with medical and scientific experts to determine the cause of an accident, all avenues of liability, and the extent of damages our client suffered. We also go one step further and examine the impact that those injuries will have on the future. We are known for our ability to professionally and compassionately handle cases involving the most serious of injuries, such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other catastrophic injuries. We also represent families in wrongful death lawsuits following a fatal rollover accident.
