How Do Run-Off-Road Accidents Happen?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), run-off-road accidents are often the result of the following driver errors:

When another person’s negligence or willful wrongdoing causes such a dangerous incident as a lane departure, the victim is entitled to seek legal action. While the majority of run-off-road crashes involve only one vehicle, it does not necessarily mean that victims bear the responsibility.

Run-Off-Road Accident Recoveries

Lane Departures And Rollovers

Studies conducted by the NHTSA have also found that the majority of rollover incidents are caused by lane departures, regardless of the type of vehicle involved. For example, when an automobile hits a median or drives onto unpaved road, the momentum of the vehicle can force it to tip and roll, resulting in serious injuries or fatal damage to the occupants inside. If you or a family member has been involved in a run-off-road accident that caused the vehicle to roll, you may be able to recover significant coverage for extensive current and future medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, funeral expenses and more.

It is not uncommon for drivers to be forced off the road by another reckless motorist who swerves across a lane or loses control of his or her vehicle. Call 888-539-9211 for help.
