Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous types of crashes, often resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. In Texas, single-vehicle crashes, including rollovers, account for nearly 32% of all traffic fatalities. If you or a loved one has been affected by a rollover accident, Reynaldo Diaz Accident Injury Attorney PC can help you secure the compensation you deserve.
Recover compensation for rollover crash injuries
Rollover accidents occur when a vehicle tips onto its side or roof, often as a result of a sharp turn, overcorrection, high speeds, or impact with another vehicle or obstacle. SUVs and trucks are especially prone to rollovers due to their high center of gravity. These crashes are not only violent but can also lead to ejection from the vehicle and life-altering injuries. Many rollover victims suffer spinal trauma, head injuries, or permanent disability.
In Texas, rollover accidents fall under personal injury and motor vehicle laws. Victims may pursue compensation if another party’s negligence contributed to the crash. This could involve a reckless driver, an employer of a commercial vehicle, or even a manufacturer if the vehicle was defectively designed. Mr. Diaz can evaluate your case and guide you through your legal options to help you secure the compensation you need and deserve.
