What are the types of Rollover crashes?

 

A:

As a local accident attorney in Gainesville, I can say that this is an important question as rollover accidents are the most deadly of accidents. Here is the information:

There are two types of rollovers-tripped and untripped.

  1. Tripped. About 95% of rollovers are tripped. A vehicle may be tripped by soft sand, striking a guardrail or curb, tire failure, or by driving on a steep incline. When tripped, the car leaves the roadway, and the high tripping force causes the vehicle to rollover.
  2. Untripped. Approximately 5% of rollovers are untripped crashes.  These crashes result from an avoidance maneuver at high speed or when a vehicle is top heavy and overloaded.
