Rollover Car Accidents in Peoria

While modern cars are designed to stay on their wheels even during high-speed collisions, certain types of impacts are still unfortunately likely to lead to a car turning onto its side or rolling all the way over onto its roof. Unsurprisingly, wrecks of this nature tend to be particularly dangerous to the people involved in them, even compared to other kinds of crashes that happen at similar speeds and under similar circumstances.

To make matters worse, effectively filing suit over rollover car accidents in Peoria can be more complicated in practice than many people expect, especially if the injured person intending to file suit was the only person directly involved in the incident. Fortunately, you have help available from the knowledgeable car accident attorneys at Phillips Law Group, where we are ready and able to take cases to a civil courtroom if necessary to get injured people paid what they deserve.

How Do Rollover Wrecks Typically Happen?

Any type of motor vehicle can potentially flip over, but rollover car crashes in Peoria are more likely to involve SUVs, trucks, and other vehicles with high centers of gravity than they are to involve sedans and similar vehicles that ride closer to the road surface. Speeding and drunk driving are also particularly significant risk factors for this sort of wreck, as are poor road conditions due to inclement weather or a lack of proper maintenance by local government authorities.

Rollovers that involve multiple vehicles generally stem from one car “T-boning” another — in other words, running front-first into the other car’s doors or side paneling — and causing the second car to tip over, or sometimes from one negligent car causing another to get into an uncontrolled skid. Single-car rollover wrecks likewise tend to stem from uncontrolled skids, which can lead either to the vehicle rolling over from its own momentum or from its wheels “tripping” on a curb, ditch, or some other surface not at the same level as the road surface.

Holding Someone Else Liable for a Rollover Crash

Technically speaking, there is nothing preventing a rollover car crash victim in Peoria from filing suit over their incident whether there is another driver directly involved in their crash or not. However, seeking civil compensation can be a lot more challenging after single-car rollovers, since many courts will assume — and not without precedent — that the wreck was entirely caused by the negligence of the driver in the vehicle that rolled over.

In some situations, though, single-car rollovers are caused partially or primarily by the negligence of a third party who was not directly involved in the wreck, such as a municipal authority that failed to fix a pothole or a vehicle manufacturer that designed and sold a fundamentally unsafe car. A qualified legal professional from Phillips Law Group can discuss the recovery options available in a specific situation in detail during a free, no-obligation consultation.

Phillips Law Group made dealing with our auto accident easy. They always had our best interest in mind and made sure that we were happy with treatment before finalizing anything. Our Paralegal, Amy Wagner, is amazing! She checked in on us throughout the entire process to make sure our treatments were going well and that we were getting better, getting healthy was first priority. She kept us informed on the progress of our case every step of the way and was very prompt with either calling or emailing us back with any questions that we had. We are very satisfied with our experience with Phillips Law Group, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of representation!

I never thought it could happen to me, I had heard about it on the news, but truly never thought it could happen to me. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. I was lost on what to do. My car insurance company would give no directions, I and my grandson were injured, my little pick- up was smashed, I was not the one who was at fault, but I felt like I was because I could get no help on what to do! You would think that your car insurance company would at least point you in the right direction. So, I contacted Phillips Law Group, I truly never ever thought I would need the help they provided...

I just wanna say that I’m young and have never had an incident needing something like Philips law and I’m glad I went with them. After my accident I was paralyzed with stress on how am I gonna recover from this what do I do, but they literally took majority if not all the worry away. I really only went to my appointments and kept them updated as much I can and eventually helped me win my case. It was a quick process as well for receiving compensation very grateful. Thank you!

One of the best experiences I have ever had dealing with a accident attorneys. They made me feel welcomed. They definitely listened to me and help guide me through this process with ease. There was no surprises and they made sure I was taken care of every step of the way.

I want to say for this being my first accident and unclear on what to do. They were amazing, from communication and making sure you have everything you need. The other insurance was giving me a hard time with my rental, I called my attorney at Philips Law Group and they made sure I had a vehicle to get around. They made sure I got the best care with amazing staff. They handle my case with care and at the end they still make sure I am okay. I appreciate you guys for not taking advantage of me and putting me first. It was not about the money but making sure I had everything I need and what was owed...

Maria Cionci and Paulina Nava are wonderful people that truly care about their clients. I have a lot of respect for how they conduct themselves in general, but especially how they graciously assist their injured clients.

I feel that I was truly blessed to find the Phillips Law Group after being involved in a bad car accident. My attorney and the staff were professional and very supportive. The firm provided compassion and sound legal advice while we navigated my insurance claim. I highly recommend giving them a call if you are involved in an accident with bodily injuries. The firm set me up with healthcare providers and really went the extra mile to help me with my case. I’m happy with my settlement and for all of their help.

Tea J.

Aaron my attorney and Jasmine my paralegal were great. Throughout the settlement process, Jasmine did a great job of keeping me in the loop of everything going on. It is a long process but being reassured during the process was helpful. Throughout the process I was provided a chiropractor and physical therapist and they all made sure that I was taken care of and feeling better before releasing me. I was also provided a trauma therapist. Though I still think about the accident and struggle here and there, my therapist did a great job of giving me the help i needed in the months following the accident. I hope to never go through this again but if need be, I...

Amazing Law Firm after getting the run around from the Insurance companies, I decided to call Phillips Law Group and initially spoke with Randy he was so helpful and kind, he truly cared about my situation and was explaining to me everything about what typically happens after an Accident....It just so happened to be exactly what I was dealing with. I felt at ease during our conversation like a weight had been lifted and at that point, I knew I made the right decision contacting them, and shortly there after I retained their services. I was contacted by my Attorney and Case manager within and hour and they assured me all my needs would be met - helping me with...

Having never been in automobile wreck before, I found myself in uncharted territory. Thankfully I ended up choicing Phillips Law Group. They took charge of my case! I want to especially acknowledge McKenna, my case manager. Without her listening -- to my good days as well some bad days due to injuries -- I would have been lost. If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.
