Florida is a big state both in terms of population and geographical size. It has over 21 million residents, making it the third-most populated state in the U.S. Even though it is a large state geographically, it ranks 8th in population density, and most of the population is crammed into a handful of urban hubs, including Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando.

Given the size of Florida’s population, it is hardly surprising that the state sees a lot of car accidents and injuries. In 2023, there were a total of 394,456 police-reported vehicle accidents in the state. Nearly 3,500 people were killed in Florida car accidents last year and over 250,000 people were physically injured.

Rollover accidents, though less frequent than other types of vehicular accidents, often lead to severe injuries or even death. The inherent complexities surrounding these cases demand expertise in both personal injury law and product liability, making them uniquely challenging for even the most seasoned legal practitioners.

Understanding Rollover Accidents

Rollovers occur when a vehicle tips over onto its side or roof during a crash. While any vehicle can experience a rollover, taller, narrower vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and vans are more susceptible due to their higher center of gravity. Many factors can contribute to a rollover accident, including the driver’s behavior, road conditions, and vehicle type.
