Overturned Vehicle Accidents in Georgia
Accidents involving overturned vehicles can be particularly severe, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities. Rollover crashes can occur due to high-speed impacts, sharp turns, mechanical failures, or collisions with other vehicles. In urban areas like Atlanta, congested roads and fast-moving traffic can increase the risk of these dangerous incidents.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), rollover crashes contribute to a significant number of serious injuries across the state each year. Excessive speed on curved roads is a common factor in these types of crashes. Driver distraction or impairment can also play a major role, increasing the likelihood of a rollover accident. Collisions with guardrails, curbs, or other vehicles may cause a vehicle to flip over, particularly if it is a taller or more top-heavy model such as an SUV. Sudden evasive maneuvers in heavy traffic or on poorly maintained roads can also contribute to rollover crashes.
Victims of overturned vehicle accidents often face medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle repair costs. Seeking medical attention and understanding legal options following such incidents is crucial.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a Georgia rollover crash, legal guidance can help navigate insurance claims and ensure fair compensation.
