As with all types of car accidents, seeking just compensation for a rollover accident starts with understanding why the accident happened.

Your lawyer will also walk you through the steps you need to take and the mistakes you need to avoid during the recovery process.
Proving Liability for a Rollover Accident in Santa Ana, CA
During our investigation, we will be looking for evidence of any and all factors that may have played a role in your (or your loved one’s) rollover accident. While several types of evidence could be available, we need to be able to identify the specific types of evidence that are available in your case.
Some examples of the types of evidence we commonly use in rollover accident cases include:
- Forensic Evidence – We may be able to use tire marks, damaged signs or guardrails, damaged vegetation, and other types of forensic evidence to piece together the events leading up to the crash.
- Eyewitness Testimony – If we can identify any eyewitnesses to the crash, we may be able to obtain these individuals’ statements or testimony in support of your rollover accident claim. We have a variety of means for identifying eyewitnesses after a serious collision.
- Video Footage – From traffic cameras and security cameras to cell phones and dash cams, vehicle collisions are increasingly being captured on video. If your (or your loved one’s) accident was recorded, we may be able to use the footage to prove who is responsible.
- Police Report – If a police officer responded to the scene of the accident, he or she should have prepared a police report. Your Santa Ana car accident lawyer can obtain a copy of the police report and determine if it contains any useful information.
- Telemetry or Telematics Data – Many modern vehicles record data about all aspects of their movement. If your (or your loved one’s) vehicle, or if the other driver’s vehicle, recorded data during the collision, this telemetry or telematics data could serve as key evidence in your case.
- Cell Phone Records – Distracted driving is a leading cause of all types of car accidents in California, including rollover accidents. If the driver who hit you or your loved one was distracted, our Santa Ana car accident attorneys can subpoena his or her cell phone records to prove it.
- Employment Records, Receipts, and Other Documents – If the driver who hit you or your loved one was drunk, if he or she was working at the time of the collision, or if any of a variety of other factors were involved, we may be able to use other documents to prove your claim as well.
Using these and/or other forms of evidence, our Santa Ana car accident attorneys can work to piece together the events leading up to the crash. We can also engage an accident reconstructionist to create a computer simulation of the collision (which we can present in court if necessary). Our attorneys have decades of combined experience representing accident victims and their families, and while there are no guarantees, our approach has proven successful time and time again.
Proving Your Damages After a Collision Resulting in a Rollover
In addition to proving who is responsible for your losses, filing a successful rollover accident claim also involves proving how much you are entitled to recover. This is one area in particular where we see accident victims and their families make mistakes far too often.
If you have a rollover accident claim, you should not let the insurance companies decide how much to pay. If you do, they will not pay the full compensation you deserve. In fact, you will most likely receive just a small fraction of the total damages you are legally entitled to receive.
Instead, you need to work with an experienced Santa Ana car accident lawyer to accurately calculate the value of your claim. In a typical rollover accident case, victims and their families can seek just compensation for damages, including:
- Medical expenses, prescriptions, and other out-of-pocket costs
- Loss of income and benefits
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
If you have tragically lost a loved one in a fatal rollover accident, your family is entitled to just compensation for all of the financial and non-financial losses that you have incurred—and will continue to incur—as a result of your loved one’s untimely death. Along with the damages listed above, these include:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of care, consortium, and companionship
- Loss of guidance, services, and support
- Other financial and non-financial losses
No matter what happened, and no matter how the accident will impact you and your loved ones in the future, you are entitled to just compensation for all of your financial and non-financial losses if someone else was at fault in the collision. To learn more, schedule a free consultation today.
