Rollover Car Crashes in California

Rollover crashes are among California’s deadliest roadway events. Though they account for a relatively small slice of total accidents, they cause a disproportionate share of catastrophic injuries and fatalities. A rollover occurs when a vehicle tips onto its side or roof and sometimes tumbles repeatedly before coming to rest. Any car can overturn, but SUVs, pickups, and vans are especially vulnerable because of their high centers of gravity. Speeding, sudden swerves, tire blowouts, and collisions with other vehicles or roadside hazards often serve as triggers.

Not every rollover is the driver’s fault. Poor road design, an uncorrected mechanical defect, or another motorist’s reckless lane change can create the perfect storm. Pinpointing the true cause requires preserving vehicle data, interviewing witnesses, reviewing traffic-camera footage, and—when necessary—retaining accident-reconstruction specialists. The injuries that follow can be life-altering: spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injuries, complex fractures, and internal organ damage frequently lead to staggering medical bills and long rehabilitation periods. Victims may also face lost income, chronic pain, and significant emotional distress.
