Car accidents are dangerous under any circumstances, but rollover accidents are among the most severe. When a vehicle flips onto its side or roof, the risk of serious injury—or even death—significantly increases. While no one plans for an accident, understanding which vehicles are more prone to rollovers can help you make informed decisions to protect yourself and your loved ones.
But what if you or someone you love is injured in a rollover accident? That’s where Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers step in. Our team has the experience, dedication, and resources to fight for your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.
What Is a Rollover Accident?
A rollover accident occurs when a vehicle tips onto its side or completely overturns due to a collision, sudden maneuver, or loss of control. These crashes often lead to severe injuries because of the violent motion and potential for roof crush injuries, ejections, or multiple impacts.
Which Vehicles Are More Likely to Roll Over?
While any vehicle can be involved in a rollover accident, some are at a higher risk due to their design and center of gravity:
- SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) – Their taller, narrower build makes them more prone to tipping, especially when making sharp turns or swerving suddenly.
- Pickup Trucks – These vehicles are also top-heavy, and when loaded with cargo, they become even more susceptible to rollovers.
- Vans (Passenger and Cargo Vans) – Their large, boxy design and frequent heavy loads increase the risk of instability.
- Semi-Trucks – Due to their sheer size and the high speeds at which they travel, semi-trucks can easily tip over, particularly in high winds or when making sudden movements.
What Should You Do If You’re in a Rollover Accident?
If you or a loved one has been involved in a rollover accident, taking the right steps is critical:
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention – Even if injuries aren’t immediately apparent, internal injuries and trauma can surface later.
- Document the Scene – Take pictures, gather witness statements, and obtain a copy of the police report.
- Don’t Settle with Insurance Too Quickly – Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Before accepting any offer, consult with a trusted personal injury lawyer.

We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.

- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death. Our caring and dedicated attorneys can help guide you and your family through this difficult and painful time and seek justice for your loved one.
