Kirkland Rollover Accident Lawyer
Representing Rollover Accident Victims in Everett, Kirkland, Bellevue, Kirkland, and the Greater Washington State Area
All car accidents have the potential to be harmful and traumatic, but rollover accidents can be especially frightening. A rollover accident is defined as any accident that flips a vehicle over onto its roof or side. Usually, though not always, the vehicle is an SUV, pick-up truck, or van.
Besides head-on collisions, roll-over accidents are the leading cause of deaths in SUV collisions. These accidents can result in a number of devastating injuries, such as brain and spinal injuries, broken bones, paralysis, and sometimes death. At Lindquist & Kornfeld, we specialize in handling rollover accident cases and supporting those seeking justice.

Common Causes Of Rollover Accidents
Although the repercussions of these types of crashes vary significantly, there are typically only a few ways in which rollover accidents occur. Usually, rollover accidents are caused by vehicle instability, which can be the result of poor driving, outside conditions, vehicle malfunctions, and more.
Rollover accidents commonly occur when:
- A vehicle is making sharp turns at high speeds
- The driver loses control
- The weather conditions are poor, making roads hazardous
- The driver is speeding or driving distractedly
- The vehicle is top-heavy
- The vehicle hits a curb, median, or guardrail
If you or a loved one was been involved in a rollover accident, you are not alone. Even the safest drivers can be involved in rollover accidents, especially if the incident was caused by unforeseen circumstances. Whether the rollover accident occurred because of another driver’s negligence, a car manufacturing company’s lax safety standards, roadway debris, or some other reason, you have a right to seek compensation from the liable party.
