Why Vehicle Rollovers Occur
A rollover crash is an unusual event in which the car flips over onto its side or roof, sometimes multiple times. To roll over, the vehicle must be forced off its four wheels, which requires tremendous force acting upon the vehicle. During a thorough investigation, your Phoenix vehicle rollover lawyer will learn why the wheels of your vehicle were forced off the pavement.
The shape of the vehicle may contribute to a rollover. For example, vans, pickup trucks and SUVs have high centers of gravity and so are more likely to roll over. Another common factor is an incline that abuts the road. The angle often gives the vehicle momentum to topple over and may propel the vehicle over repeatedly.
Rollovers occur under a variety of circumstances, including:
- A tire blowout
- A dirt shoulder that catches the wheel
- A too deeply inclined roadway shoulder
- Driver overcorrection of an out-of-control vehicle
- Collision with another vehicle
To get to the bottom of what happened, we consult experts, analyze debris fields, inspect the damage to the vehicle and visit the site to see firsthand the roadway conditions. We also pursue evidence as to whether an impaired or speeding driver caused the crash.
