Rollover Accidents in Utah
Rollover crashes, such as this one on I-15, are often among the most dangerous types of accidents, leading to severe injuries or fatalities. Common causes of rollover crashes include:
- Excessive Speed – Higher speeds increase the risk of losing control, especially on highways.
- Driver Fatigue – Long-distance driving can lead to drowsiness and delayed reaction times.
- Weather Conditions – Wet or icy roads can reduce traction, making rollovers more likely.
- Overcorrection – Sudden steering maneuvers can cause vehicles, especially SUVs and trucks, to overturn.
- Tire Blowouts – A sudden loss of tire pressure can result in a loss of vehicle stability.
Victims of rollover crashes often suffer from head trauma, spinal injuries, broken bones, and internal damage, requiring long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation.
If another factor, such as road conditions or a vehicle malfunction, contributed to this accident, the victims may have legal options to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a rollover accident, seeking professional guidance can help you understand your rights and secure the support needed for recovery.
