Rollover Accidents in Texas
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents and often result in serious injuries. High-speed roads, highway service roads, and exit ramps—like those near West US 290 Highway and the Mopac service road—pose an increased risk for rollovers due to sudden lane changes, merging traffic, and high-speed turns.
Several factors contribute to rollover accidents, including excessive speed, distracted driving, tire blowouts, and driver overcorrection. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, are particularly susceptible to rolling over when a driver loses control. Poor weather, roadway hazards, and mechanical failures can also play a role in these crashes.
Victims of rollover accidents often sustain severe injuries, including head trauma, spinal injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries. Recovery from such crashes can be physically and financially challenging, with medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages creating significant burdens. Texas law allows those injured in accidents caused by negligence to seek compensation for their damages. Establishing fault in a rollover crash requires a thorough investigation of road conditions, vehicle performance, and driver actions leading up to the accident.
