Stroudsburg SUV Rollover Lawyer

A collision between two vehicles can end in many different ways, depending on the angle and speed of the collision and factors like the presence of stationary objects, like a traffic median or a fire hydrant. SUVs are more susceptible to rollovers than sedans and other types of small vehicle because they are taller and narrower than these smaller cars.

An SUV rollover is a serious car accident that can result in a victim’s serious injury or even death. If you are injured in this type of accident because of another party’s negligence, you could be entitled to recover monetary compensation for your damages through a personal injury claim. The Stroudsburg SUV rollover lawyers at Needle Law Firm are here to help you with your case.

Rollovers and Other Types of Collision

Rollovers happen when the vehicle is destabilized, typically by an external force. Rollovers are not the only kind of collision that can occur. Others include side impact collisions, head-on collisions, and rear-end collisions. Rollovers are characterized by the vehicle literally rolling over onto its side or roof. 

Ways you Can be Injured in an SUV Rollover

The injuries you suffer in an SUV rollover depend on a variety of factors, like where in the vehicle you were sitting, the speed of the collision and whether the vehicle rolled onto its side or its roof.

You can suffer the following kinds of injuries in a rollover:

  • Broken bones;
  • Soft tissue injuries;
  • Spinal cord injuries;
  • Traumatic brain injuries;
  • Lacerations;
  • Burns; and
  • Loss of limbs and extremities.

Each type of injury can lead to life-changing complications, like a lacerations putting the victim at risk of suffering an infection or a spinal cord injury resulting in permanent paralysis. Victims can also face mental health challenges like anxiety and depression after suffering injuries. 

Pursuing Compensation for your Car Accident Damages

When you file a car accident claim, you can pursue monetary compensation for the following damages:

  • Medical expenses;
  • Lost wages; and
  • Pain and suffering damages.

To successfully recover compensation for these damages, you must demonstrate how your injury and resulting damages were directly caused by another party’s negligence. In an SUV rollover case, this might mean showing that another driver hit you while text messaging behind the wheel or that your rollover resulted from being forced into a turn too sharp to take safely. You can demonstrate these facts with evidence like:

  • Photographs of the accident scene;
  • Eyewitness testimonies of the accident;
  • Copies of your medical bills;
  • Documentation of your lost wages and reduced work capacity due to the injury; and
  • A copy of the official accident report.
