Rollover Accidents in Texas
Rollover crashes are among the most severe types of vehicle accidents and often result in life-threatening injuries. Rural and suburban roads such as East FM 1626 Road present unique hazards, including sharp curves, uneven terrain, and high-speed limits, all of which can contribute to rollover incidents.
These crashes frequently occur when a driver loses control of the vehicle, overcorrects, or strikes an obstacle, such as a curb or guardrail. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, are more prone to rollovers, especially when making sudden maneuvers. Poor road conditions, speeding, and driver impairment can also increase the risk of a rollover accident.
Victims of rollover crashes often suffer from serious injuries such as head trauma, spinal cord damage, fractures, and internal injuries. The physical and financial toll of such accidents can be overwhelming, with medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs adding to the burden. Texas law allows injured parties to seek compensation if another party’s negligence contributed to the crash. Establishing liability often requires an investigation into road conditions, vehicle stability, and driver behavior leading up to the accident.
