McKinney Rollover Accidents Lawyer
Advocating for Victims of Rollover Accidents in Collin County
While there are different types of car accidents, some of the most dangerous accidents occur when involved vehicles overturn or experience multiple rolls. These crashes often take place when vehicles are traveling at high speeds or during a T-bone collision. Rollover accidents often subject occupants to extreme forces that can cause serious bodily injury or death. On pavement, rollover crashes are the most dangerous, because the roofs are more likely to deform (crush) and severely injure occupants' heads and necks. Additionally, a vehicle's glazing (windshield and side glass) are more likely to shatter, and occupants can be ejected (if they are not wearing seat belts), or their heads can breach the occupant compartment, during which devastating injuries can occur.

Common Causes of Rollover Accidents
There are multiple reasons why a vehicle may turn over. While a person driving a vehicle may have been partially responsible for an accident, other parties may also be partially or fully responsible for a rollover. These accidents may take place because of:
- Collisions with other vehicles - When one vehicle strikes another car or truck, the force of the impact can cause a vehicle to roll. For example, a T-bone collision that takes place at a high speed may cause a vehicle to turn over after being struck from the side, or a sideswipe collision may result in a rollover after a vehicle is forced off the road.
- Dangerous roads - If a vehicle hits a large pothole, a damaged guardrail, or a section of roadway that has been damaged, it may roll over as a result. These accidents may occur due to steep embankments and insufficient space on the side of a road, or a road that is not designed correctly may become dangerously slippery during wet weather. In these cases, a local or state government agency may be liable for accidents that took place due to their failure to maintain safe roads.
- Defective vehicle parts - A vehicle's brakes may fail, tires may blow out, or other mechanical issues may cause a driver to lose control, leading to rollover accidents. Manufacturers of defective products may be held liable for injuries suffered by occupants in a rollover accident.
- Obstacles - Accidents can also occur when unsecured cargo falls from commercial trucks during transit. The party who was responsible for creating the obstacle may be liable for any accidents that take place.
