Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a vehicle to roll over?
Rollovers often happen when a driver overcorrects, hits a curb or soft shoulder, or takes a curve too fast, causing the vehicle to tip onto its side or roof. Higher-center-of-gravity vehicles like SUVs and trucks are more prone to this.
Are rollovers more common on certain types of roads?
Yes. Rural highways and roads with narrow shoulders, sharp curves, or no median barrier see more rollover crashes than interstates with wider, flatter designs.
What injuries are common in rollover crashes?
Occupants can be thrown against the roof, doors, or windows as the vehicle turns over. Head, neck, and spinal injuries are common, along with injuries from partial or full ejection if seatbelts aren't worn.
What to Do After a Rollover Crash in Runaway Bay, TX
If you're involved in a rollover, stay as still as possible until you can assess whether you're hurt, then check on any passengers before attempting to exit the vehicle. Call 911 even if injuries seem minor, since some, like concussions or internal injuries, aren't obvious right away. Remember to seek a medical evaluation within a day or two of the crash regardless of how you feel. Make sure to keep any paperwork from police or EMS, and take photos of the scene and vehicle damage if you're able to safely do so. Reach out to your insurance company to begin the claims process once you've been checked out.
