Erie, Pennsylvania Rollover Accident Lawyers

Accident Attorneys Protect The Rights Of Clients Injured in Vehicle Rollover Accidents In Erie, Pennsylvania

Rollover accidents are particularly severe motor vehicle accidents, often resulting in serious injury or death. Several factors can contribute to a rollover accident, including the driver’s behavior, road conditions, and environmental conditions. The majority of rollover-related fatalities do not involve any vehicle besides the one that rolled over, highlighting the critical role of driver behavior in these types of accidents.

When you or a loved one has been involved in a rollover accident, we’ve got you covered. The accident attorneys at Purchase, George & Murphey, P.C. have in-depth experience and a track record of success in advocating on behalf of accident victims to recover the compensation they deserve.

Rollover Accidents Are Particularly Dangerous

Rollover accidents are particularly dangerous. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 90 percent of the vehicles involved in fatal, single-vehicle rollover accidents were involved in routine driving maneuvers — such as driving straight or going around a curve — at the time of the accident. This further suggests the significant role of driver behavior in rollover accidents.

While any type of vehicle can rollover, certain vehicles such as SUVs, vans, and pickup trucks are particularly susceptible. These vehicles are taller, narrower, and have higher centers of gravity, and make them more prone to rollover if they are involved in a single-vehicle crash.

Other factors that contribute to rollover accidents, according to the NHTSA, include the following:

  • Speed: speed is a major contributor in fatal rollover crashes. Approximately 40 percent of fatal rollover crashes involved excessive speeding. In addition, almost three-quarters of fatal rollovers occurred where the posted speed limit was 55 miles per hour or higher.
  • Alcohol: Almost 50 percent of fatal rollover crashes involved alcohol use.
  • Location: More rollover accidents occur on rural roads, as these roads are often undivided without any barriers.

Tire Blowouts Contribute To Vehicle Rollover Accidents In Pennsylvania

Tire blowouts are also a contributing factor in vehicle rollover accidents and are often caused by the following:

  • Manufacturing defects: Using poor quality materials in the tire manufacturing process, or having poor adhesion of the tire’s components
  • Improper tire installation: if the tires on the vehicle are not properly installed, this increases the likelihood that the tire will blow out 
  • Improper tire assembly: this increases the risk of a blowout
  • Improper tire inflation: over-inflated or under-inflated tires can result in tire blowouts
  • Improper manufacturer tire warnings: when a tire manufacturer fails to properly warn consumers about the proper care and maintenance of the tire, including when the tires must be replaced, this failure may contribute to a tire blowout
