Salt Lake City Rollover Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

Rollover accidents, while not incredibly common, can have devastating consequences for everyone involved.

When a car flips over, it puts the passengers and the driver in a compromised position, increasing the chances they will suffer a severe injury. These injuries often lead to expensive medical bills that can quickly add up to a substantial financial burden.

When a rollover accident happens to you and someone else’s negligence was to blame, contact a Salt Lake City rollover accident lawyer and ensure you receive the financial compensation you are due.

Causes of Rollover Car Accidents

In a rollover accident, a car is flipped onto its roof. There are numerous reasons why this can occur, including human error, road conditions, or a manufacturing defect.

Regardless of the reason, most accidents result from the negligence of one of the parties involved. This involvement may be indirect—the car’s manufacturer or the company that built the road—but if they were somehow responsible, negligence can be established and used to hold them accountable.

A Salt Lake City rollover accident lawyer can help you pinpoint who the responsible parties are and determine how best to secure compensation from them.

Proving Negligence

Rollover accidents often result from negligence on the part of one off the drivers. This could include any of the following:

Speeding
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Distracted driving (i.e., driving while texting, eating, reading, and the like)
Driving recklessly in adverse road or weather conditions

Utah applies the concept of comparative negligence when evaluating responsibility for an accident. This means the judge will assess what percentage of responsibility each party is accountable for and correspondingly reduce the end settlement amount by that percentage.

For example, if you are found to be 10 percent at fault and are awarded a $10,000 settlement, your settlement will be reduced by $1,000. This makes it especially important to secure the legal advice of an experienced Salt Lake City rollover accident lawyer, as your attorney can ensure that your portion of responsibility is mitigated as much as possible.

Manufacturer Liability

Manufacturing defects can also play a role in rollover accident liability cases.

Perhaps a vehicle’s airbag failed to activate, resulting in severe injuries that should have been prevented. A manufacturing defect could even be responsible for the accident itself somehow.

Typically, when defects are discovered a recall is issued. However, depending on the severity of the defect, the manufacturer may decide it’s less expensive to simply deal with potential lawsuits than to issue a recall. This is an act of incredible irresponsibility.

When this occurs and a rollover car accident or injuries result, any medical expenses or repair bills related to the accident should be the responsibility of the manufacturer. A Salt Lake City rollover accident lawyer can help you hold a car manufacturer responsible for their design flaws.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
