Rollover Accidents

Michigan Rollover Accident Attorneys

Vehicle rollovers account for a disproportionate share of fatal and catastrophic injury crashes in Michigan. SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans are particularly susceptible due to their higher center of gravity. Rollover crashes often result in roof crush injuries, ejection, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and death.

Koussan Law represents rollover accident victims and their families across Michigan. These cases often involve multiple liable parties — including negligent drivers, vehicle manufacturers, tire companies, and road authorities — making experienced legal representation essential.

Causes of Rollover Accidents

High-speed turns and overcorrection, tire blowouts, defective vehicle stability systems, top-heavy vehicle designs, tripping hazards like soft shoulders and guardrails, and collisions with other vehicles are common causes. Some rollovers are single-vehicle events triggered by road conditions; others result from multi-vehicle crashes.

Product Liability in Rollover Cases

Vehicle manufacturers may be liable when a design defect — such as an inadequate roof structure that collapses in a rollover, defective seat belts that allow ejection, or electronic stability control failures — contributes to the severity of injuries. Tire defects causing blowouts and tread separation are another frequent basis for product liability claims in rollover cases.
