The Importance of Contacting an Attorney After a Rollover Accident
Rollover accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries and expensive related costs. In the aftermath of a serious crash, it is important to ensure the protection of your legal rights by hiring a Fort Collins semi truck accident lawyer to represent you. A personal injury lawyer will be on your side.
While a car insurance company will want to reduce your settlement as much as possible, a lawyer will work hard to maximize your case outcome to protect your future. An attorney can handle settlement negotiations, evidence collection, and litigation in court, if necessary, to fight for fair results while you focus on putting your life back together.
Causes and Effects of Rollover Accidents
Rollover accidents can occur when a driver speeds, takes a turn too sharply, or loses control of a vehicle. However, a vehicle may also turn onto its side or rollover due to issues that may be outside of a driver’s control, such as:
- Defective vehicle design (top-heavy vehicles)
- Road defects, such as potholes
- Debris in the road
- Poor cargo loading (imbalanced truck)
- Inadequate vehicle maintenance
- Tire failure or blowout
- Wet or icy roads
Identifying the cause of the rollover can point to who is liable, or financially responsible, for related injuries. Rollovers can cause extensive injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, internal injuries, crush injuries, and amputations.
Should You Accept a Settlement From an Insurance Company?
As a general rule, it is recommended that rollover accident victims not accept initial settlement offers presented by insurance companies. First offers are often too low and do not accurately represent the claim’s full value.
Instead of accepting, bring your case to a free consultation at Hadfield Stieben & Doutt, LLC for an attorney’s insights and assistance. We can help you identify who to hold liable, such as another driver, the vehicle owner, a company or employer, or the government. We can also protect you from insurance bad faith practices and ensure you are maximizing your claims value.
Then, we can file your claim and pursue the maximum possible compensation in and out of court on your behalf. We understand rollover accident cases, what evidence to gather, and how to deal with insurance companies.
