Although they are not as common as rear-end or head-on collisions, rollover accidents are likely to cause severe injuries to passengers. When a vehicle tips over, it may skid across the road on its side or roof colliding with other cars in traffic or slamming into a guardrail. In extreme cases, the car may roll over several times, causing broken bones, brain trauma, or internal injuries that prove fatal for the occupants. 
Why Do Rollover Accidents Happen?
There can be many underlying causes of rollover accidents, but they are usually grouped into two categories. If the vehicle’s tires strike an object (such as a pothole or loose gravel) that causes the vehicle to flip over, it is called a tripped rollover. If the accident results from a sudden movement (such as a turn or overcorrection) from the driver, this is an untripped rollover.
While it will take a full investigation to determine who may be liable for the costs of the accident, the most common reasons rollover crashes happen include:
Automobile defects.
A tire blowout can cause the car to become unbalanced, sending the car into a skid that forces the car to roll over. In addition, rollovers are more common in vehicles that are top-heavy such as SUVs, pickup trucks, and minivans. An automobile maker or parts manufacturer could be found negligent if it could have done more to protect against rollovers.
