White Plains Rollover Accident Lawyer

While any car accident is dangerous, a rollover crash can be exceedingly violent and even deadly for people involved. Causes of a rollover accident may include:

• Environmental factors
• Road conditions
• The at-fault driver’s behavior

According to Safer Car, “almost three-fourths of fatal rollovers occur in rural areas where the posted speed limit is typically 55 miles per hour or higher.”

If you were injured in a rollover crash, or a family member was injured or killed in one, you may be able to hold the at-fault driver responsible for your injuries and other damages. You may be able to pursue compensation from the other driver to potentially recover your losses.

A White Plains rollover accident lawyer can help you identify the cause of your accident and pursue compensation on your behalf. Contact the personal injury team at Morelli Law Firm by calling (212) 751-9800 for more information.

You May Benefit from the Help of a White Plains Rollover Accident Lawyer

Because a rollover accident can lead to severe injuries, victims might not immediately be able to participate in building their compensation claims. However, people who want to take legal action have a limited amount of time.

According to the New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) § 214, you generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline does not get altered, even if you are still recovering from severe injuries.

While you concentrate on recuperating from your physical injuries, our team might be able to:

• Analyze and review your crash report
• Examine and evaluate your medical records
• Appraise the value of damaged property
• Investigate the cause of the accident
• Negotiate a financial settlement

You can focus on your physical recovery without putting your right to file a personal injury lawsuit at risk. Find out more about how our team can help you receive the financial compensation you may be entitled to collect. Contact the personal injury team at Morelli Law Firm by calling (212) 751-9800 today.

How Injuries Are Categorized in a White Plains Rollover Accident

The injuries you sustain in a rollover accident can vary in the degree of their severity. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) uses the following letter codes to define the severity of injuries its citizens sustain in any type of motor vehicle accident:

• K: This label is used to define fatal injury that occurs immediately after or within 30 days of an accident due to accident-related injuries.
• A: This label is used to define critical injuries that require assistance to leave the accident scene, such as skull fractures, internal injuries, broken bones, and loss of consciousness.
• B: This label is used to define obvious and visible but minor injuries, such as apparent wounds, bumps, cuts, scrapes, and limping.
• C: This label is used to define invisible injuries, such as hysteria, mania, nausea, temporary loss of consciousness.

The injuries listed in the categories above may require medical care. Class K and A injuries may result in costly and prolonged medical care. Significant or catastrophic injuries may also require long-term rehabilitation treatment.

If you did not cause the rollover accident that led to your injuries, we believe you should not have to bear the financial costs of treating your injuries. Our personal injury team can show you how to pursue the at-fault driver for the cost of your medical care and other costs that stem from your injuries.

Define Your Injury and Injury-Related Expenses

If you or someone you love was injured in a rollover accident, you might be entitled to receive compensation to cover the costs of your medical care. Our team might also be able to help you receive compensation for:

• Current and future lost wages
• Physical pain and suffering
• Mental and emotional anguish
• Property damage or destruction

You might also be entitled to additional financial compensation, which might not be included on this list. Your lawyer may also review your damages to account for bills, receipts, and estimates so that your potential compensation claim is correctly valued.

Recoup Financial Compensation Without Going to Court

After a rollover car accident, your lawyer can help you assign a value to your compensation claim and negotiate a financial settlement with the at-fault driver or their insurer. If you agree to a settlement, you do not have to take your case to court.

You have the final say in accepting or rejecting every monetary offer you receive—not your lawyer. Our goal, though, is to ensure your claim is accurately valued from the start and that you receive the best possible outcome at the resolution of your case.

If the at-fault driver and their insurance company acknowledge their fault for causing the accident, they may agree to a financial settlement. If you agree to a settlement, you permanently resolve your compensation claim. You will terminate your claim in writing in exchange for a specified amount of money.
