California Pickup Truck Rollover Attorneys
The first factory-assembled pickup truck debuted in 1925 and featured a cargo box, adjustable tailgate and heavy-duty rear springs. Today, compact, mid-size and full-size pickup trucks are more powerful than ever, with some trucks capable of carrying loads of at least 1,000 lbs or more. Many consumers believe a pickup truck’s power and large size equal safety in the event of an accident, but according to statistics, a pickup truck is three times more likely to rollover than the average passenger car.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration looks at two factors when determining the likelihood of a pickup truck rolling over in a collision: stability and how a truck maneuvers in an emergency. Although suspension and tires can affect stability, it is the top-heavy design of a pickup truck that affects its ability to stabilize in certain situations, such as when a driver must make an accident-avoidance maneuver or experiences a tire blowout.

California Pickup Truck Rollover Injuries
Due to inherent roof design flaws, many pickup truck occupants suffer serious, potentially life threatening injuries in rollover collisions. As a result of collapsing roofs, the occupants of a pickup truck can experience serious head injuries and spinal cord injuries. Pickup truck rollover accident victims can also sustain serious brain injuries, neck injuries, severed limb injuries, burn injuries, internal organ injuries, back injuries, cuts, bruises, joint injuries and paralysis.
What to do After You Have Been Injured in a Pickup Truck Rollover Accident
After being injured in a California pickup truck rollover accident, it is imperative you seek medical attention. If you were not examined at the scene of the accident by emergency medical technicians, visit your local hospital’s emergency room (even if you are not experiencing any pain). Serious injury symptoms do not always surface immediately and are not always detectable to the untrained eye. After a doctor has seen you, contact a California pickup truck rollover injury attorney at Estey Bomberger as soon as possible. We can make sure you receive quality treatment throughout the claims process and make certain you receive fair and just compensation for future injury costs.
