Why Vehicles Experience Rollovers

A Middletown rollover collision is a complex incident that can result from a variety of factors, often involving a combination of driver behavior, vehicle design, and road conditions. Below are some of the key causes that contribute to rollover accidents:

• High Speeds: Driving at excessive speeds increases the likelihood of a vehicle losing stability, particularly when navigating curves or performing sudden maneuvers. 
• Sharp Turns: Vehicles are more prone to rollovers when taking sharp turns at high speeds, especially if the center of gravity is higher. 
• Tire Blowouts: Sudden tire failure can disrupt the balance of a vehicle, causing it to roll over under certain conditions. If the tire or other auto part was defective, a product liability claim can be placed to recover compensation.
• Vehicle Design: SUVs, trucks, and vans often have a higher center of gravity, making them more susceptible to rollovers compared to sedans or sports cars. 
• Road Conditions: Uneven roads, poor signage, and sharp curves can destabilize a vehicle, increasing the chances of a rollover. The government entity might be responsible for accident injuries. However, the time limit to file a claim is six months, so getting help from an accident lawyer would be a good move.
• Hit-and-Run or Aggressive Drivers: A driver who strikes another vehicle and flees or drives in an aggressive manner can cause another motorist to leave the roadway.
