What Makes a Santa Fe Truck Rollover Accident so Dangerous?

first responders help rollover accident victim

The size of these trucks is the main thing that makes truck rollovers so dangerous. 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.

The way big trucks are loaded tends to make them top-heavy. It takes a large amount of force to push a big truck off balance, but once it starts to tip you can’t stop it, which leads to a Santa Fe rollover accident. The truck rolls onto its side or back and sometimes rolls multiple times before stopping.

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

Common Causes of Santa Fe Rollovers

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

Sharp or quick turns: Turning too quickly, too sharply, or when moving too fast can cause a truck to rollover.
Ramp-based rollovers: Drivings quickly on uneven ground, like a curb or incline, can cause a truck to rollover.
Skidding: Due to their size and weight, applying their brakes too heavily can cause them to lock up and start to skid across the road. If you combine skidding with turning, or some other impact or force, this can cause the truck to rollover.
Spinning: Spinning can start as skidding, but the truck's full body ends up spinning out of control. The inertia and weight of this movement cause the truck to rollover.

However, your Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe Rollover Wrecks

Rollover accidents can cause serious injuries. Our Santa Fe rollover accident injury clients most commonly report the following injuries:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Occur when the brain hits the skull with enough force to cause swelling or other damage.
Spinal cord injuries occur due to spinal compression and hard object impacts during the crash.
Amputations occur if a victim's limbs are stuck 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 truck collision.
Fatal injuries are common in rollover accidents, especially when a big truck rolls over smaller vehicles. Did you lose a loved one due to a Santa Fe truck rollover? You may find justice through a wrongful death claim.

What to Do After a Santa Fe Truck Rollover Accident

If you've suffered from a Santa Fe 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. Was the driver following regulations, exercising reasonable care, and obeying traffic laws?
Breach. Did the driver breach that duty of care by failing to take action to prevent harm or by acting recklessly?
Causation. Did the drivers breach directly caused the accident and its resulting injuries?
Damages. Did the accident and injuries cause 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 Santa Fe truck rollover lawyer as soon as you can after your accident.
