While all motor vehicle accidents are frightening and chaotic, rollover crashes amplify this fear many times over. Not surprisingly, the injuries caused by rollover accidents are often severe and life changing. If this has happened to you, contact us at the Law Firm of Valiente Mott. We can help those injured in a rollover accident win compensation for their injuries so that they can rebuild their lives.
What Causes Rollover Crashes?
Why do rollover accidents occur? Here are some of the more common reasons:
- The design of the vehicle
- High speeds
- Sudden swerving
- Distracted driving
- Tire defects
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
How to Maximize Your Financial Compensation
If you are involved in a rollover accident, there are several steps that you can take– assuming you can– in the immediate aftermath of the crash to help maximize the amount of financial compensation that you receive:
- Call the police and file an accident report. This may function as an essential piece of evidence.
- Seek prompt medical attention. If you fail to do this, you are increasing the defendant’s opportunity to poke holes in the validity of your claim and thereby limit– or even prevent altogether– your ability to recover financial compensation.
- Take pictures. This could include your injuries, property damage, skid marks, road signs, weather conditions, traffic, and the exact location of your crash.
- Gather the contact information of anyone who may have witnessed your crash.
- Refrain from any mention of your accident or your injuries on social media. Make sure that no updates, pictures, or videos are posted online that could undermine your claim.
Insurance Companies May Try to Limit Compensation
Because rollover accidents often cause serious injuries, you may be eligible to receive a significant amount of financial compensation. However, insurance companies are focused on the bottom line. Therefore, any adjuster you speak with will try to limit that amount. Often, they will present a lump-sum settlement offer to you as soon as possible following your crash.
This offer will likely be far below the true financial value of your claim. Instead of accepting it, consult with an experienced rollover accident attorney. In this consultation, you will learn the strengths and weaknesses of your case and gain an understanding of the approximate financial value of your claim for a rollover accident in Las Vegas.
Focus on Healing While We Build Your Case
Once a client hires us, we immediately begin investigating and building their case. Because liability in rollover crashes is often disputed, our team of Nevada car accident lawyers will examine the area surrounding the accident scene to determine whether there may be any surveillance footage that captured any part of the accident. If so, we have the knowledge and experience to request, preserve, and utilize it on your behalf.
Our aggressive and compassionate attorneys will also handle all communications with the insurance company so you can focus on healing. Finally, we also represent clients in Utah—so if you’ve been in a rollover there, contact our team of Utah car accident lawyers.
