St. Louis Rollover Accident Attorney
About Rollover Accidents
There are almost 300,000 rollover accidents annually. Some vehicles are more likely to roll over than the average family car. Vans, SUVs, and large trucks with high load compartments have a reputation for this as the center of gravity is different due to their height. These accidents are commonly caused by the vehicle being thrown off balance either through a wheel hitting an obstacle, turning at an excessive speed, or being hit. It is not unusual for any style of vehicle to rollover when hit by a large truck especially if road conditions are poor. You need the help of a St. Louis truck accident attorney if you or a loved one has been injured in this way. A personal injury attorney with the firm is well versed in these accidents and is interested in helping you restore your life to normalcy.

Rollover accidents often cause fatalities and are 37% more likely to result in severe or catastrophic injuries such as brain or spinal cord injury, internal organ damage, or paralysis.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration along with the Office of Motor Carriers oversee truck drivers and trucking companies and enforce strict regulations as to driver training and conduct, inspections and maintenance of commercial trucks as well as load limits. Despite this many truck operators are not competent due to poor training or impairment from fatigue or drugs and alcohol. In the case of an accident these may be considered grounds for a claim of negligence.
