Rollover Accidents

Of the various types of automobile accidents, rollover accidents often cause very serious persona injuries. SUV's are notorious for rolling over due to their high center of gravity. Rollover accidents have a number of causes and can affect cars differently depending on their type and without the help of experienced accident lawyers such as the ones at Kalfus & Nachman, Attorneys at Law.

The most common causes of rollover accidents are:

• Turning too sharply
• Turning too fast
• Faulty tires
• Inclement weather causing poor road conditions
• Defective vehicles
• Road defects (potholes, construction issues)

If the vehicle in question has a narrow wheel base, or is top heavy with a high center of gravity, the chances of rollover also increase. Manufacturers who fail to take certain safety precautions to reduce the chances of a rollover accident may liable for their defective product.

Rollover accident injuries are often severe. Traumatic brain injuries are very common in rollover accidents; spinal cord injuries are common, also.
