Rollover Accidents

Securing Fair Damages for Rollover Accident Victims

Few rollover accident victims walk away without at least some injury. While cars have become safer over the years, even the newest cars are not meant to be upside down. When a car rolls over, the injuries to those inside are often serious or even deadly. Regardless of the severity of your injury, it is essential that you retain an experienced attorney who will carefully defend your right to fair compensation.

These accidents are not only physically damaging, but also financially debilitating. Medical bills pile up at the same time that many injured victims aren’t able to work. Doctors don’t want to wait to get paid. Even if you’re not able to work, doctors offices and hospitals will still send your bill to collections if you don’t pay. When you combine the fact that you have to pay to fix your car, covering costs associated with property damage, medical bills and lost wages can seem overwhelming. When household budgets are already stretched thin, they didn’t include paying deductibles and copays.

In theory, insurance companies were put into place to help offset these costs and support you as you move through your healing process and get back to work. Unfortunately, many insurance companies may not offer you the compensation you deserve. Even the insurance companies with the friendliest mascots aren’t looking out for your best interest. The less they pay you, the more money the insurance company keeps for itself.

We Fight for Accident Victims

At Marcotte Law Firm, our attorneys are committed to giving our clients a voice while standing up for their rights. Drawing on more than 150 years of combined experience, we collaborate as a team as we examine the circumstances of your rollover accident. We work with accident reconstructionists and interview any witnesses as we determine how best to help you obtain the outcome you deserve.

Sometimes, what seems obvious at first glance obscures the facts of what really happened. A single-car rollover accident might have been caused by another car cutting you off and then fleeing the scene. We have recovered payments for clients even when they have rolled over their own vehicle and the accident appeared at first to be solely our client’s fault.

Rollover accidents often occur due to:

• High-speed driving
• Reckless driving
• Distracted driving
• Texting and driving
• Improper loading

These accidents can crush or throw an individual from the vehicle, which often causes catastrophic injuries. Even with all the safety features of newer cars, the associated injuries often affect the head, neck, and spine and can lead to a variety of fractured bones, Herniated and ruptured discs, and torn ligaments. Other times the injuries are invisible.

Many rollover accidents cause concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and even post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As soon as you retain our firm, we guide you through the process of getting to see the appropriate doctors, specialists, and therapists. We understand that every injury is different, requiring a different approach. By hiring our firm, you are giving yourself permission to focus on your health while we tenaciously and efficiently handle the details of your case.
