Facts About Truck Rollover Accidents
In a rollover accident, a truck literally turns over onto its side or roof. Rollover accidents are divided into two types:
- Tripped rollovers: Accidents where an external force tips over the truck. Hitting another car or a curb are the most common ways these accidents happen.
- Untripped rollovers: Accidents caused by the truck losing contact with the ground because of speed or steering. These accidents are most commonly caused by trucks taking turns too fast.
Common Causes of Truck Rollover Accidents
Many truck accidents are caused by driver negligence. But, there are many other factors that can lead to a rollover truck accident. Here are some of the most common causes of these accidents:
- Speeding
- Turning too fast on a curve
- Overloaded trailers
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Tired/sleepy drivers

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 3,500 people die in truck accidents each year. If you've been injured or lost a loved one in a truck accident, you need an experienced Birmingham lawyer on your side.
