Experienced Maryland Rollover Accident Attorney

Key Takeaways

• The force of a rollover crash can cause severe injuries or even death.
• Excessive speed and adverse weather conditions are just two causes of rollover accidents.
• The at-fault driver may not be the only person liable for your injuries or losses in a rollover crash.
• An experienced rollover accident lawyer at Bowers Law can guide you through the process of dealing with stubborn and sometimes dishonest insurance companies.

According to statistics published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2024, 7,418 occupants of passenger vehicles lost their lives in rollover crashes in 2022, including 21 percent of fatalities in cars, 39 percent in pickups, and 37 percent in SUVs. This concerning fatality rate highlights the serious dangers associated with rollover accidents. Experiencing a rollover accident can lead to significant financial and legal challenges that add to your pain.

The immediate medical expenses can be staggering, and if your injuries prevent you from working, the loss of income can create a dire financial situation. As bills pile up, you may find yourself drowning in debt, unsure of how to cover everyday expenses. Navigating the insurance claims process can elevate your stress levels. Insurance companies often prioritize their profits over your recovery, making it challenging to obtain the compensation you rightfully deserve. Without proper legal guidance, you risk settling for far less than what your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering warrant.

We understand the emotional toll and complexities that come with navigating the aftermath of an accident. Our team of experienced attorneys is here to guide you through the process and secure the settlement you deserve.

What Happens to Your Body During a Rollover Crash?

A rollover crash can cause severe injuries, as your body is often rapidly thrown around the cab of the vehicle, especially if you are not wearing a seatbelt. These intense and rapid movements can cause all types of injuries, including internal bleeding, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries.

What Are the Common Causes of Rollover Accidents in Maryland?

Common causes of rollover accidents may include:

• A vehicle with a high center of gravity, such as an SUV, is more apt to roll over
• Defective tires
• Poorly maintained roads
• Hitting an object in the road at a high rate of speed
• Turning too quickly
• Taking a sharp curve too fast
• Slick roads
• Swerving off the road
• Being t-boned

Parties That Can Be Held Liable for Rollover Accidents in Maryland

Other individuals besides the driver could share liability for a rollover accident. Many can contribute to flaws, including design flaws, defective tires, and other issues that increase the risk of rollover accidents. A personal injury lawyer can help identify who may share liability for your rollover accident. In some cases, several people may share the responsibility for your injuries and losses, including:

• The driver
• The driver of another vehicle
• Vehicle manufacturer
• Parts manufacturers
• Tire manufacturers
• Repair shops
• Dealerships
• Municipalities (poor road conditions)

Can You Seek Compensation for Injuries From a Rollover Crash?

If you suffered injuries or lost a loved one in a rollover crash, you may be entitled to compensation. A personal injury attorney can guide you through this type of personal injury claim, including locating all who may share responsibility, ensuring all injuries, including catastrophic injuries and future medical treatment for those injuries, are included, and negotiating with one or more insurance companies for the compensation you deserve.

Damages Available in Rollover Car Accident Lawsuits

Accident victims can recover two types of damages in a Maryland rollover accident, including economic damages and non-economic damages. If a rollover accident causes the death of a loved one, a car accident lawyer can help the surviving family members file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Economic Damages

Sometimes referred to as special damages, economic damages have a monetary value and may include:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Property damage
• Loss of earnings
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Death-related expenses

Non-Economic Damages

Sometimes referred to as general damages, non-economic damages do not have a monetary value but are also meant to “make you whole again.” They include:

• Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
• Loss of quality of life
• Loss of consortium or companionship
• Inconvenience
• Amputation
• Excessive scarring or disfigurement
