Rollover Accidents in Seattle

undefinedWhen a vehicle overturns, its occupants are at risk of suffering from life-changing injuries. Rollovers were only involved in nearly 2.1% of reported passenger-vehicle accidents in 2010. However, that same year, nearly 35% of deadly crashes involved overturned vehicles, contributing to the deaths of more than 7,600 people. Driver negligence and inclement roadway conditions can cause a serious rollover accident.

If you have been injured in a Washington car crash, you have the right to pursue a negligence claim for your injuries. Anyone who gets behind the wheel has to exercise reasonable care to obey the traffic laws of the State of Washington. Failure to do so may constitute negligence and give rise to a claim for lost damages for the injured party. Pursuing a personal injury claim in Washington is a long and confusing process for those with little experience in the law, but you do not have to do it alone.
