Seeking Compensation for Injuries From Wind-Related Rollover Accidents
Seeking compensation for injuries from a wind-related rollover accident is a necessary step for most victims. However, it’s not always obvious how you should pursue the money you deserve. You might file one or more insurance claims, or you could elect to sue a truck driver, manufacturer, or trucking company that contributes to the rollover.
Your Florida truck accident lawyer will inform you of your options for seeking compensation and provide their recommendation. While wind can be a hazard, your lawyer will identify whether human failures—like a defective product or unsafe road conditions—also contributed to your accident. Your legal team will seek compensation from liable parties based on what their investigation uncovers.
What Factors Could Affect Liability After a Wind-Related Rollover Accident?
The details of your accident will matter. Your Florida rollover accident attorney will be ready to interview witnesses, analyze video of the collision, and hire experts to determine the cause of the crash. Some factors that can contribute to a wind-related rollover accident include:
- Unsafe roads: Dangerous turns, speed limits that are too high for a given road, hazardous construction zones, lack of traffic signs, and other road-related hazards can contribute to wind-related rollover accidents. A municipality may owe you compensation for rollover-related injuries.
- Poorly designed vehicles and trailers: Top-heavy trucks will most likely be involved in rollover accidents. As part of the accident investigation, your attorney should determine whether a vehicle’s design contributed to the rollover.
- Unsafe cargo distribution: The distribution of cargo in a commercial truck might have contributed to the vehicle rolling over. If a third party loaded the cargo, that party may be liable for accident-related damages.
- Weather conditions: Naturally, weather conditions is always a factor in a wind-related rollover accident. If a truck driver fails to adjust their driving habits to account for fierce winds (e.g., slowing down), you could collect rollover injury compensation when their negligence causes their truck to roll over.
Wind-related rollover accidents can happen for several reasons. Your lawyer is responsible for determining and proving what happened and establishing who is financially liable for your damages.
How Your Lawyer Can Prove What Caused the Rollover Accident (and Who Is Liable)
Consider hiring a lawyer for the rollover truck cash case that follows the accident so they can manage every detail of your case, including proving who caused it. Some evidence they might use to prove fault and liability includes:
- Expert testimony, such as clear statements about who caused the accident, a detailed explanation of how and why the crash happened, and possibly even a reconstruction of the collision
- Eyewitness statements that accurately describe how the rollover crash occurred
- Any video footage, photographs of the accident scene, photos of vehicle damage, and other visual evidence supporting your case
- Any police reports and other official documentation that affirm your account of the accident
Even though Florida is a no-fault insurance state, proving fault is a crucial step should your injuries meet the state’s serious injury threshold and exceed your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage limits. So, if you must file a third-party wind rollover accident claim or lawsuit, your lawyer must prove who is at fault for the crash.
