Rollover Accident

As experienced Arizona car crash attorneys, we were taken aback by a serious injury accident reported by KVOA Channel 4 on April 3. Authorities arrived at North Oracle Road on Highway 77 in Saddlebrooke near the exit for Biosphere 2 around 2:00 pm. There they found that a pickup truck had rolled over and left the roadway. The driver was alone in the vehicle and was conscious at the time police arrived but had been injured. The driver was taken by ambulance to a nearby trauma center, which was closer than the nearest hospital.

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) was dispatched to the scene to investigate what had happened. They have yet to release a final report on the cause of the rollover although drugs, alcohol, and the initial presence of other vehicles have not been ruled out as possibilities.

How to Avoid a Saddlebrooke Car Crash

Each year, Pima County accident statistics are affected by at least one Saddlebrooke car crash. Records kept by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) indicate that car accidents in Pima County cause a yearly economic loss of nearly $400 million. Of that, nearly $169 million in losses can be directly attributed to injury crashes. This large number of economic losses is caused by less than 16,000 accidents, only 5,300 of which cause injuries. ADOT reports nearly 3,000 Arizona car collisions involve at least one rollover per year, the majority of which cause serious injuries, followed by property damage. In 2010, only 125 rollover accidents were fatal.

Why Involve an Arizona Car Crash Attorney

As Yuma car accident attorneys with more than 30 years of combined experience, we are concerned for the three people injured in a single-vehicle crash that occurred Tuesday, March 13, 2012, according to the Yuma Sun. The crash took place near Imperial Dam at the intersection of Senator Wash Road and State Route 24 when a car carrying three people rolled over. Two of the people in the car were able to get out, but a third passenger in the vehicle was trapped and was rescued by emergency crews. All three of the people in the car were transported to a nearby hospital and were treated for non-life threatening injuries. There has been no official report on the cause of the accident.

Single-Vehicle Yuma Car Accident Statistics

Nearly 1,900 collisions like this Yuma rollover accident occur in the city each year, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). More than 600 of these incidents result in injuries to nearly 900 people every year. Statewide, nearly 2,800 car crashes each year result in the overturning of the vehicle and more than 18,500 crashes involve only a single vehicle. Single-vehicle collisions account for more than 17 percent of all crashes each year in Arizona and for more than 41 percent of all crash-related deaths.

Why a Yuma Car Accident Victim Should Call a Personal Injury Attorney

The victims of this single-vehicle Yuma car accident each suffered injuries and could benefit from knowing their rights by contacting a Yuma personal injury attorney to ensure they receive compensation for their injuries and other damages.

At Breyer Law, P.C., we have seen many strange accidents occur over the years, including the collision that occurred March 8, according to NBC 4. The collision occurred when a pregnant woman driving a small vehicle tried to evade police just outside of Sahuarita. The woman lost control of her vehicle and went off the road, where the car then rolled. The pregnant driver was ejected from the vehicle and during the course of their investigation at the scene of the accident, police discovered two people locked in the trunk of the car. Both people were also injured.

The pregnant woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment for her injuries. The current status of the two trunk passengers is unknown. Police have not issued a statement concerning the passengers in the trunk and both the accident and the situation regarding these passengers is under investigation. We do not know why the driver was running from the police. Needless to say, our hearts go out to those injured in this crash, especially the pregnant driver, and we wish everyone a speedy recovery.

Speeding and Arizona Car Accidents

This accident was one of less than 200 that occur in Sahuarita each year, although nearly half result in injuries, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The number one driver violation responsible for causing accidents in all cities reported by ADOT is speeding. Statistics show that speeding causes more than 35,000 collisions each year, which is more than one-third of all collisions, reported. More than one-third of the collisions caused by speeding result in injuries. Speeding greatly increases the risk of collision as well as the risk of a rollover because excessive speeds greatly reduce a driver’s ability to control his or her vehicle. Drivers can reduce their risk of being involved in a rollover or another Arizona serious injury accident by slowing down and observing speed limits.

As Arizona rollover accident lawyers, we were surprised to hear about the many events that took place before one man’s death on February 14 in Tucson. According to KVOA News, a 28-year-old man was involved in an accident with two other vehicles while at a drive-thru near 12th Avenue and West Lerdo Road at about 11:15 p.m. He first rear-ended one vehicle and then backed into the front of another before fleeing the scene. When he fled, he sped through an intersection, over a median, and rolled his car, which resulted in his death since he was not wearing his seatbelt. One of the drivers he hit remained on the scene and cooperated with police. The other left the scene. Anyone with information about that second driver is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME. Our condolences go out to the man’s family.

How Did This Rollover Accident Happen?

This accident happened when a man sped away from a hit-and-run incident. Police are still investigating whether he was intoxicated at the time. Because of the speed, the man lost control of the car, hit the median, and rolled. He was crushed under the car because he was not wearing a seatbelt.

Never Hit and Run

As accident attorneys, we will be the first to tell you that hit and run accidents are not only illegal, but they can be deadly as well. Many people attempt to flee the scene of the accident because they aren’t insured, aren’t driving with a valid driver’s license, and many other reasons. However, police often apprehend the suspects later, and then they face much more serious consequences than if they had remained on the scene.

The driver apparently lost control while backing out of her driveway, backed into a neighbor’s garage, then lost control as she continued down the street. The Jaguar she was driving flipped end over into another neighbor’s yard and landed between some boulders. The woman was in serious condition at a local hospital following this Arizona car accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with her, and we wish her a full recovery.

Causes of This Fountain Hills Rollover Accident

While this was a single-vehicle accident, as Fountain Hills rollover accident lawyers, we see many incidents in which the other driver causes the innocent party’s vehicle to rollover. It often happens when other drivers sideswipe, swerve toward, or cut off the car that ends up rolling over. In some cases, we see rollovers that occur because of faulty repair jobs, such as when tires aren’t replaced properly or aren’t properly inflated. In this case, it is unclear exactly what happened, and police are still investigating.

Fountain Hills Rollover Accident Statistics

There were 97 Fountain Hills car accidents in 2010, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), which resulted in one death and 46 injuries. There were also 12,949 sideswipe accidents and 3,067 incidents in which drivers failed to keep in their own lane. While this wasn’t the case in this accident, this is how most rollover accidents occur.

Contact a Fountain Hills Rollover Accident Attorney

Alexis and Mark Breyer handle many cases where people are not wearing their seatbelts and are seriously injured. We also help many people who have experienced emotional and physical injuries in rollover car accidents. Contact the team at the Breyer Law Offices, P.C. today for your free consultation.

There are many factors that could lead to a rollover crash, the most common of which is driving on excessive speeds. Also, certain types of cars are found out to be susceptible to rollover accidents. Tall and narrow vehicles such as SUV’s are more prone to rolling over as opposed to other types of vehicles. If a rollover crash is caused by a driver’s negligence, he or she may be held legally responsible.

Injury Crashes in Arizona

Victims have a high chance of acquiring injuries in crashes such as rollovers. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), almost one-third of all crashes in Arizona in 2010 involved injuries. These injury crashes led to more than 50,000 people being rushed to the emergency room.

Arizona State Speeding Laws

There is a high chance that a rollover accident will involve speeding.

As specified by ARS 28-701.02, motorists should not exceed 35 miles per hour (mph) near school areas and, if no speed restrictions are posted, should not exceed 45 mph when in a business or residential district.
