What Makes a Longview Truck Rollover Accident so Dangerous?

The main factor contributing to the danger of truck rollovers is their size. A tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, when fully loaded, be over 55 feet long, and 13 feet to 14 feet high.

They tend to be top-heavy because of how they're loaded. It usually takes a large amount of force to push a big truck off balance, but once it starts to tip it's almost impossible to stop, leading to a rollover accident. The truck rolls onto its side or back and sometimes rolls multiple times before stopping.

Any vehicle caught in the path of an out-of-control truck may be pushed, stuck, or crushed under its weight. There's no way to estimate how severe a Longview truck rollover can be, or how many vehicles will be involved—but there are almost always, serious injuries and sometimes even wrongful deaths occur.

Common Causes of Longview Rollovers

Longview truck rollover accidents can occur for a number of reasons. These reasons can be grouped into four main categories:

Sharp or quick turns: Trucks turning too quickly, too sharply, or when driving too fast have a much greater chance of rolling over. Big trucks must turn carefully because they have a higher center of gravity than lower vehicles.
Ramp-based rollovers: When an 18-wheeler drives quickly on uneven ground, such as a curb or an uneven incline, this can cause it to rollover.
Skidding: Due to their size and weight, semi-trucks have a large amount of inertia, when their brakes are applied too heavily they can lock up and start to skid across the road. If you combine skidding with turning the truck’s wheel, or some other impact or force, this can cause the truck to roll. This is often due to driver error and adverse conditions, such as slick pavement, or overly worn tires with bare treads.
Spinning: Spinning can start off as a skid, but ends with the truck's full body spinning out of control. The inertia and weight of this movement cause a rollover, especially if the truck's side hits an obstacle.

However your Longview truck rollover accident occurred, the skilled legal team at Sloan Firm will conduct a full investigation of your accident to determine its cause. We want you to fully understand the source of your damages, and to give your claim the evidence it needs to win.

Common Injuries of Longview Rollover Wrecks

Rollover accidents tend to cause serious injuries. Our Longview rollover accident injury clients most commonly report the following injuries:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These occur when the brain hits the skull with enough force to cause swelling or other damage. TBI severity can vary, but some of the symptoms include memory loss, cognitive decline, behavioral or mood changes, and paralysis. While some TBIs are treatable, others can cause life-long complications.
Spinal cord injuries are common rollover accident injuries. Due to spinal compression and hard object impacts during the crash. These injuries can result in partial or full paralysis, which can be lifelong injuries.
Amputations may be necessary if a victim's limbs are pinned underneath the heavy wreckage of a rollover truck.
Organ damage, cuts, lacerations, bruising, and other injuries can be caused by the violent impact of a rollover collision.
Fatal injuries are common in rollover accidents, especially when the big truck rolls over smaller vehicles. Have you lost a loved one due to a Longview truck rollover? You may find justice through a wrongful death claim.

What to Do After a Longview Truck Rollover Accident

If you've suffered from a Longview truck rollover accident, call 911 if able. First responders will treat your injuries on the scene, and the police will generate a report that's vital evidence to your claim. You should document the scene, take pictures, jot down names and information of other victims and witnesses, and report the accident to your insurance company.

To prove the trucking company is liable in your claim, you'll need to prove negligent actions.

To prove negligence, you have to prove four points:

Duty of Care. The driver has a duty of care toward other drivers by following regulations, exercising reasonable care, and obeying traffic laws.
Breach. The driver breached that duty of care by failing to take action to prevent harm or by acting recklessly.
Causation. The driver's breach directly caused the accident and its resulting injuries.
Damages. The accident and injuries caused damages, either financial, medical bills and lost wages, or non-economic, pain and suffering, or decreased quality of life.

You have a limited amount of time—a statute of limitations—to seek damages for your injuries, so it's important to call an experienced Longview truck rollover lawyer as soon as you can after your accident.
