Vehicle Rollover Accidents

Helping Victims of Rollover Accidents in Colorado

In some accidents involving cars and sports utility vehicles, it is not the collision that causes the injury or fatality. It is what happens afterward. Rollovers are one example of how your life can depend on your vehicle's ability to protect you after a crash.

At The O'Connell Law Firm, P.C., in Denver, Colorado, we believe that auto makers are responsible for providing vehicles that are reasonably safe. If you have been injured in a rollover accident that was caused by an unsafe vehicle design, we will hold the manufacturer accountable. Attorney Michael O'Connell and our office staff represent victims of all types of rollover accidents, including cases where our client was cited for causing the accident.

Car and SUV accidents happen every day. That is the reason cars and SUVs are designed with safety features such as seat belts and air bags. However, safety features can fail when a vehicle rolls over after the accident. Lawyer Michael O'Connell has extensive experience in identifying the liable parties in complex accidents involving vehicle defects.

Vehicles prone to rollover accidents

Some vehicles are more prone to rollover accidents than others. SUVs, pickup trucks, and 15-passenger vans are more prone to rollover accidents than cars because they have a high center of gravity.

Tire blowouts and rollover accidents

We have all heard about lawsuits filed by victims of rollover accidents involving the Ford Explorer SUV and Firestone tires. In the case of a tire blowout, a driver should be able to pull the vehicle safely over to the side of the road. In an unstable vehicle, however, tire failure can lead to a tragic rollover, resulting in serious injury and death for the driver and passengers.
