Rollover accidents tend to cause the most severe injuries compared to other types of accidents. A rollover accident occurs when a vehicle crashes by falling onto its side, flipping over onto its roof, or flipping over numerous times. The most common areas in New Jersey which experience rollover accidents are on the interstate and turnpike. People are generally traveling at faster speeds on these roads which makes it easier for rollover accidents to occur, especially with larger vehicles that carry more weight.
Hire a Rollover Accident Attorney in Jersey City that Will Fight for Your Rights
Rollover accidents are certainly not as common as other accidents. However, when they do occur, it almost always results in severe injuries inflicted upon the driver. These are life-changing injuries that will often leave the victim disabled, dead, or faced with a long physical rehabilitation. The personal injury protection of an insurance policy will not even begin to cover the long-term medical costs, regardless of how much coverage is on the policy. That is why the victim should fight for additional compensation in court.
If you or a close family member was injured in a rollover accident, you need to hire a Jersey City rollover accident attorney that understands your rights. We have a superb track record in winning compensation for our clients who have been involved in rollover accidents. To find out more information, call 201-798-8000 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.
Reasons for Rollover Accidents
If you are driving an economy class car, then a rollover accident is less likely going to happen to you. Bigger and heavier vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and tractor trailers are more vulnerable to rollover accidents because of their size. If they are being driven too fast or under tough weather conditions, the chances of a rollover accident are going to increase.
In most cases, the at-fault driver will be recklessly driving on the road due to intoxication, speeding, tailgating or being distracted on their phone. Once their vehicle rolls over, it is likely going to make other nearby vehicles crash into it. This will create one or more victims as a result of the driver’s reckless behavior.
Here are the most common reasons why rollover accidents occur:
- A vehicle travels fast and then swerves toward the side of the road, hitting the guardrail or curb.
- A heavy vehicle travels fast, and its driver tries to avoid an impending accident by turning the steering wheel too quickly or stepping on the brakes too aggressively.
- A mechanical malfunction in the vehicle which made the accident unavoidable. In this case, the driver would not be at fault.
Whether you were the driver of the vehicle which caused the accident or the victim of another vehicle that rolled over, give our law offices a call at 201-798-8000 so that we can review your case. Our Jersey City rollover accident attorney will review all legal options that can reward you with the most compensation possible for your injuries.
Typical Legal Scenarios in Rollover Accident Cases
It is possible to be a responsible driver and still have a rollover accident happen to you. Many newer vehicles tend to have defects in them which get discovered later on. If you’ve ever received manufacturer recall notices about your car in the mail, a defective component in your vehicle may have caused your rollover accident. But even if you haven’t received a recall notice, a defective component could still be to blame.
Our Jersey City rollover accident attorney is going to pay strict attention to the report from the insurance adjuster. They will want to see a diagnostic inspection done on the vehicle by a qualified auto mechanic. That way, we will know if there truly was a defective component that caused the accident. If so, we will be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit against the manufacturer of the vehicle. More than likely, they will look to settle for a fixed amount rather than go to court. A settlement may or may not be sufficient, depending on the severity of the injuries and the evidence in the case. Our attorney has the legal knowledge and background to make an informed decision like this.
The other legal scenario is seeking compensation from another driver’s rollover accident. For example, if a reckless truck driver on the interstate causes their truck to fall onto its side and you’re right behind it, then that driver will be the cause of your injuries. That means that you have the right to sue them for compensatory damages.
The typical medical expenses that you can receive compensation for in a rollover accident include:
- Hospital and ambulance costs
- Physical therapy
- Diagnostic testing
- Surgery
- Medications
- Home healthcare
- Mental suffering
If your family member has died in a rollover accident, you are entitled to the maximum amount of compensation possible. Punitive damages may also be awarded for the injuries if the at-fault driver was proven to be reckless. In New Jersey, punitive damages can be as much as five times the amount of the compensatory damages. So, if you end up with $400,000 in medical expenses and rehabilitation costs, then you could receive up to $2 million in punitive damages on top of that.
