Rollover Accidents Accident Lawyer
in St. Pete & Pinellas Park, FL

Attorney for Rollover Accidents in Pinellas Park

Although rollover accidents compose a small percentage of auto accidents, they are much more likely to result in serious injuries to passengers that require critical and ongoing care. In the most severe cases, these accidents can turn fatal.

If you have been involved in a rollover accident or your loved one was fatally injured in one, contact an experienced personal injury attorney for assistance. 

Contributing Factors To Rollover Accidents

Although rollover accidents commonly follow a side strike from another vehicle, there are several additional ways they occur:

  • Distracted driving and overcorrections
  • Striking a curb, guardrail, or median at a high speed
  • Hazardous roadways such as during or after rain

Vehicles that are top heavy such as vans, SUV’s and trucks are especially at risk of being involved in a rollover accident. But driving one of these vehicles does not mean the other driver is automatically at less fault.

If another vehicle or multiple vehicles were involved [link to multi vehicle], the allocation of fault for the accident is likely to be disputed. Florida follows the rules of comparative fault which means each party is responsible for their share of fault in a collision on a percentage basis. This does mean your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, if any, if your case proceeds to trial. However, it does not mean you cannot recover. Your share of fault may not even factor into the damages analysis if your claim settles out of court. An experienced personal injury attorney will research and present your case to the insurance company, and later to a jury if needed in a way that minimizes your fault and maximizes your recovery.

Common Injuries

  • Back and spinal cord injuries
  • Brain injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Amputations
  • Fractures and sprains
  • Soft tissue injuries

Many of the common injuries following a rollover accident will immediately be apparent, but some may take time to present symptoms. Even if you walk away from a rollover accident, it is important to seek medical care to evaluate you for potential injuries that may appear later and begin treatment.

Florida law mandates that if an accident victim does not seek medical treatment within fourteen days following the accident, they have forfeited their personal injury protection coverage. So, it is important to seek medical care immediately even if you are not suffering severe pain or discomfort because injuries such as those to the head, neck, and back may worsen over time and require early intervention for optimal recovery.
