Single Vehicle Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents represent a unique segment in car accident injury law. These types of accidents are unique in the sense that they are one of the few versions of single-vehicle accidents where the driver is not almost certainly to blame and require a savvy auto accident attorney. Often, single-vehicle rollover accidents are due to defects rather than driver error.

Rollover accidents are very common in Houston, Texas primarily due to the popularity of the SUV as the car of choice. By default, SUVs put drivers at considerable risk for single vehicle roll-over accidents due to their high center of gravity relative to their narrow track (transverse distance between the center line of one tire and it's counterpart on the other side).

This high center of gravity creates an opportunity for routine collisions, abrupt maneuvers, and road undulations or imperfections to result in the vehicle rolling over. This is compounded by the fact once the SUV does roll, the roof structure is often lacking in structural support capable of sustaining the mass of the up-ended vehicle. This leads to the head and spinal cord trauma that has become synonymous with rollover accidents. SUVs are often determined to be insufficient at adequately protecting occupants to a reasonable degree of safety, and many product liability cases may be brought against the manufacturer in the event of such an accident.


Defective Tires

Another common contributor to rollover accidents is defective tires. While tire defects are often caused by poor maintenance, a considerable contributor to tire failure is negligence during the manufacture of tires or the selection of inadequate tires for a vehicle by either the manufacturer or tire dealer. In the case of an SUV with its natural proclivity to roll over, a defective tire makes a bad problem worse.

$300,000.00 Recovery - Commercial Vehicle Accident / Work Injury (Facial Fractures and Head Trauma)
A loading dock worker suffered serious including numerous facial fractures and minor brain trauma when an 18-wheeler back into him, crushing him against the loading dock. The plaintiff's employer was a subscriber to Texas Workers' Compensation coverage, thus a claim was rightly filed against the third party trucking company whom the truck driver operating the reversing 18-wheeler worked for.

The plaintiffs asserted the position that the trucking company in question was liable on the basis of respondeat superior and negligent retention. The defendants argued that the plaintiff was the sole proximate cause of his injuries by virtue of the plaintiff putting himself in harms way. They maintained that the plaintiff simply walked behind the reversing tractor trailer as it pushed back toward the loading dock.

It was later determined through deposition testimony that the truck driver had indeed instructed the plaintiff to stand behind the trailer in order to determine the vehicle's proximity to the dock. Once this fact came to light, the defendants agreed to mediate whereby the case was satisfactorily settled.

$210,000.00 Recovery - Automobile Accident (Neck Injury Requiring Surgery)
Our client was injured in a motor vehicle accident when an employer driving a company vehicle failed to yield the right of way and collided with the plaintiff's vehicle. The defendant's employer was sued for negligence soon thereafter. The defendants alleged that the company should not be held liable for the actions of the employee.

They claimed that the employee was not in the course and scope of his employment at the time of the accident. Through discovery, our attorneys learned that the defendants had a policy, both written and implied, whereby employees of the company were allowed to drive work vehicles after hours.

Furthermore, our attorneys argued case law that expanded the definition of course and scope which showed that the defendant was indeed "on the clock" when the accident occurred.

As a result, the defendants conceded liability and turned their defenses toward the alleged damages. They claimed that our client had a preexisting condition that was responsible for her current state.

We deposed the emergency room physician who assessed the client and recommended surgery regarding the medical necessity of the surgical procedure and the proximate cause of the plaintiff's condition. He testimony unequivocally defeated these arguments. The case was satisfactorily resolved through litigation.
