A rollover is the most dangerous kind of auto accident. In fact, 35% of all auto accident fatalities occur in rollover accidents. At least 40% of rollover crashes involved someone speeding, and at least 50% involved drivers who had been drinking. Accidents like this are usually (95% of the time) caused by a car “tripping” over something, like a guardrail, dirt, snow, or ice. Tripping can also be caused by defective tires. Rolling is more common in SUVs, light trucks, and vans, because they have a higher center of gravity.

Rollover crashes can cause a plethora of injuries to any part of your body, but head and neck injuries are the most common. One study shows that 60% of rollover accident victims suffered from head and neck injuries, and up to 54% of deaths in rollover crashes were caused by brain damage.
