Key Factors Leading to SUV Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents are frequently caused by the negligence of other drivers. In Duluth, specific challenges like ice, snow, and uneven roads can increase the risk.

  • Distracted Drivers

    Distracted driving is a major contributor to rollover accidents. In fact, one out of every nine accidents in Minnesota involves a distracted driver. If another driver isn’t paying attention to the road, their sudden maneuvers can force an SUV into evasive action. SUVs, due to their design, are more likely to tip during abrupt swerving or lane changes.

  • Aggressive Driving

    ers who speed or make sudden lane changes, particularly on Duluth's more narrow or winding roads, create dangerous conditions for SUVs. These quick maneuvers can cause a loss of control and increase the likelihood of a rollover.

  • Sudden Braking and Rear-End Collisions

    SUVs are more prone to rollovers when they are struck from behind, especially if the driver overcorrects after impact. The high center of gravity in SUVs makes them more vulnerable to tipping over in these situations.

  • Impaired Drivers

    Driving under the influence remains a leading cause of traffic accidents in Duluth. Impaired drivers often make erratic decisions, forcing other vehicles, particularly SUVs, into defensive driving maneuvers that can lead to rollovers. Offending drivers may be impaired by:

  • Highway Mergers and Lane Changes

    On highways like I-35 and US-53, sudden merges or lane changes, especially at high speeds, can force SUV drivers into dangerous situations. These sharp maneuvers can cause SUVs to lose stability and roll over.

Act now – protect your rights.

If you’ve been involved in an SUV rollover, time is critical. Reach out to SiebenCarey today and take the first step toward securing your compensation.

Common Types of Injuries in SUV Rollovers

Rollover accidents often result in life-altering injuries. Due to the violent nature of these crashes, injuries can be severe.

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): Head injuries, including concussions and more severe brain trauma, are frequent in rollovers. The impact of the crash can result in long-term cognitive issues or disabilities.
  • Spinal cord injuries: Damage to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete paralysis. These injuries often require long-term rehabilitation and drastically affect the quality of life.
  • Whiplash: The sudden force of a rollover can lead to whiplash, a neck injury caused by rapid back-and-forth movement. While often seen as a minor injury, whiplash can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues if left untreated.
  • Broken bones: Fractures are common in rollover crashes, particularly in the arms, legs, and ribs. Some injuries, like compound fractures, can require surgery and prolonged recovery.
  • Internal injuries: Internal bleeding or damage to organs, such as the lungs or spleen. These injuries may not be immediately noticeable but can be life-threatening if left untreated.
  • Lacerations and burns: Shattered glass and torn metal often cause deep cuts, and fires resulting from a crash can lead to severe burns.
  • Psychological injuries: Survivors of rollover accidents may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, or a fear of driving, all of which can severely impact day-to-day life.
  • Financial strain: In addition to physical and emotional harm, the financial burden of medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost income can add immense strain, making compensation for these costs critical for recovery.

What Compensation Can You Claim After an SUV Rollover Accident?

If you’ve been injured in an SUV rollover accident, you may be entitled to compensation for a variety of damages. This compensation is meant to help you recover financially from both the immediate and long-term impacts of the crash.

Some of the damages you may be eligible to recover include:

  • Medical expenses: This includes immediate medical bills such as emergency room visits, surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing care like physical therapy, prescription medications, and future treatments for long-term injuries.
  • Lost wages: If you’re unable to work due to injuries, you may be compensated for wages you would have earned during recovery. This can also include lost future income if your injuries affect your ability to return to your previous employment or work at the same capacity.
  • Reduced earning capacity: If your injuries result in permanent disabilities or impairments, you may not be able to work at the same level or in the same career, which entitles you to compensation for diminished earning potential.
  • Disability: If your injuries cause a partial or full disability, compensation may cover the financial and lifestyle adjustments needed to manage the disability, such as home modifications or specialized care.
  • Rehabilitation costs: Long-term recovery, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, or psychological counseling, can be costly. These expenses may be included in your compensation package.
  • Property damage: If your SUV or any personal property inside was damaged or destroyed in the rollover, you may be entitled to compensation for repair or replacement costs.
  • Pain and suffering: This includes compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, and overall reduction in quality of life caused by the accident.
  • Emotional distress: Rollover accidents can result in lasting psychological injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Compensation can help cover therapy or other treatment related to emotional trauma.

Your Duluth SUV rollover attorney will help ensure that all aspects of your injury and financial losses are accounted for when calculating the amount of compensation you deserve.

Who Is Responsible for a Duluth SUV Rollover Accident?

Determining liability in SUV rollover accidents can be complex, often involving multiple factors and parties. At SiebenCarey, we take a thorough approach to uncovering the cause of the accident and identifying those responsible.

Negligent Drivers

A significant number of rollover accidents are caused by the reckless or negligent actions of other drivers. If another driver caused your SUB rollover accident, they can be held liable for any injuries. This might mean they were:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted
  • Driving under the influence
  • Tailgating
  • Making sudden lane changes

Vehicle Manufacturer

Sometimes, the vehicle itself plays a role in causing a rollover. SUVs are more prone to rolling over due to their higher center of gravity. If a design flaw, such as a weak roof or defective tires, contributed to the accident, the vehicle manufacturer or parts supplier could be held responsible under product liability laws. Rollovers are often exacerbated by weak vehicle structures, particularly if the roof collapses, leading to severe injuries.

Poor Road Conditions

In Duluth, icy roads, potholes, and insufficient signage can all contribute to accidents. If the rollover occurred due to poorly maintained roads or inadequate warnings of hazards (e.g., sharp turns or hidden ice patches), a city department responsible for road maintenance may be held accountable. Liability in these cases involves proving that the agency failed to maintain safe driving conditions, which directly led to the rollover.

Rollover Caused by Other Hazards

Additional factors, such as improper vehicle loading or driving on unstable terrain, can lead to rollovers. For example, if a cargo loading company improperly loaded your SUV, making it top-heavy, they could share in the liability for the accident. Similarly, if the rollover occurred on private property due to dangerous conditions (e.g., loose gravel or construction debris), the property owner might be responsible​.

Our Duluth SUV rollover accident lawyers will go the extra mile to find the party responsible for your accident.

How SiebenCarey Will Prove Liability in Your Case

At SiebenCarey, we leave no stone unturned in investigating the cause of your SUV rollover. Our legal team will:

  • Examine the accident scene: We’ll assess road conditions, signage, and any other environmental factors that may have contributed to the crash.
  • Inspect your vehicle: We thoroughly examine your SUV for any defects or mechanical issues that may have contributed to the accident, such as faulty brakes, tires, or roof structure.
  • Review all available evidence: We gather photos, video footage, and police reports to build a clear picture of what happened.
  • Interview witnesses: Witnesses who saw the accident unfold can provide valuable insight into the actions of other drivers or contributing factors.
  • Consult with experts: Accident reconstruction specialists, automotive engineers, and other expert witnesses can help us determine whether a vehicle defect, road condition, or another factor caused the rollover.

Our goal is to build a comprehensive case that clearly demonstrates which party (or parties) were responsible for your SUV rollover. Once we have the evidence, we will aggressively pursue compensation from all liable parties.

Duluth SUV Rollover Accident FAQs

Do SUV rollover cases usually go to trial?

Most personal injury cases, including SUV rollover accidents, settle out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, SiebenCarey is fully prepared to take your case to trial. Our attorneys have helped our clients win verdicts many times larger than any previous settlement offer.

How can I protect my rights after an SUV rollover accident?

Your safety is the first priority. Here’s what to do after an SUV rollover:

  • Contact 911 to report the accident and request emergency services.
  • Seek medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel injured – some symptoms may develop later.
  • If it's safe, document the scene by taking photos or videos and gathering witness information. This evidence could be critical in your case.
  • Consult an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and avoid making mistakes that could hurt your ability to seek compensation​.

What is the statute of limitations for an SUV rollover claim?

In Minnesota, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally six years from the date of the accident. However, it’s advisable to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to begin building your case. Acting quickly helps preserve critical evidence that may strengthen your claim​.

Why are SUVs more likely to roll over?

SUVs are more prone to rollovers due to their higher center of gravity and narrower wheelbase compared to smaller vehicles. These design factors make SUVs more likely to tip over during sharp turns, abrupt steering maneuvers, or when reacting to the negligence of other drivers.
