Even when you do everything right behind the wheel, some accidents are unavoidable. With more than 400,000 car accidents occurring in Florida in 2018 (according to Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles data), crashes are unfortunately common. One such accident can include rollover crashes.

What You Need to Know About Rollover Accidents
Rollover accidents can cause significant damage to your vehicle, which can make you more susceptible to sustaining injuries. A rollover crash can expose your vehicle to oncoming traffic, which can lead to devastating collisions. Since rollover accidents may result in auto insurance companies declaring the vehicle a total loss, the expenses related to your accident can exceed your coverage.
How Your Insurance Comes Into Play
You must carry at least $10,000 in Property Damage Liability, meaning that if your vehicle is a total loss, you may have difficulty replacing your car. When the cost to repair or replace your vehicle exceeds your PDL coverage, you can pursue damages against the other driver.
§ 627.7407 of the Florida Statutes mandates that all drivers carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. These benefits reimburse 80% of your medical costs and 60% of your lost wages. You must receive medical care for your injuries within 14 days to receive PIP benefits.
File a Personal Injury Claim With Our Help
A lawyer can help you pursue economic and non-economic damages against the other driver. Florida does not cap the damages you can receive for injuries sustained in a car accident. Economic losses are actual expenses you paid because of your accident. Non-economic damages consider how your injuries impact your long-term health, happiness, and quality of life. If injuries prevent you from returning to work, a Jacksonville rollover accident lawyer can help you pursue damages for future lost earnings and a diminished earning capacity.
§ 768.81 of the Florida Statutes imposes a comparative negligence rule, which reduces your damages by the percentage you are responsible for the accident. A lawyer can collect evidence to demonstrate the other driver was at fault for the collision.
