What Causes Rollover Accidents in Philadelphia?

Rollover collisions come in two distinct types with different contributing factors:

  • Tripped rollovers occur when a vehicle’s tires or body strike an external object or are hit by another vehicle, causing the vehicle to roll over. T-bone collisions are a particularly common cause of tripped rollovers.
  • Untripped rollovers happen when a vehicle overturns without striking an external object or surface condition. Instead, the rollover results solely from the vehicle’s own dynamics, such as excessive speed, sharp steering, or loss of stability. 

Vehicles with a high center of gravity are at greater risk of overturning. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) reports that, in one recent year, 4 percent of all crashes involving light trucks, SUVs, and vans resulted in rollovers – compared to 2.5 percent of all passenger car crashes. Rollover accident fatalities are also over 30 percent higher for occupants of light trucks, SUVs, and vans. Our SUV rollover accident lawyers can help you if unsafe vehicle design played a role in your injuries.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Rollover Accident?

  • Employer of an at-fault driver who was on the job at the time of the crash
  • Company that designed your vehicle in a way that made it likely to overturn in a wreck
  • Manufacturer of a defective part that contributed to the crash, such as an exploding tire
  • Government entity responsible for maintaining the road if hazardous conditions led to the accident
