Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a vehicle roll over?
A rollover typically happens when a vehicle trips on something, such as a curb, soft shoulder, or another vehicle, while moving sideways at speed, or when a sharp steering move shifts weight hard enough to lift the tires on one side off the ground.
Do some roads see more rollovers than others?
Yes. Rollovers happen more often on roads with higher speeds, uneven shoulders, or sharp curves, since there's more room to lose control and less room to correct before tipping.
What injuries typically result from a rollover crash?
Common injuries include head trauma, neck and spine injuries, broken bones, and cuts from broken glass. Anyone not properly restrained is more likely to be thrown around inside the vehicle or ejected.
What to Do After a Rollover Crash in Portland, OR
If you're involved in a rollover, stay as still as possible until you've checked for pain or numbness before trying to move, since adrenaline can mask injuries. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, and let paramedics evaluate everyone involved. Once you're safe, don't forget to get a medical exam within a day or two, since some injuries, especially to the head or spine, can take time to show symptoms. Make sure to keep records of any treatment and file a police report if one hasn't already been started. If a vehicle part failed or road conditions played a role, note what you can and take photos once it's safe to do so.
