At Shook & Stone, our rollover accident lawyer in Henderson is an advocate ready to fight for you. We have decades of experience fighting for victims to get real results. Our Henderson car accident lawyers have over 150 years of combined experience.
Why Rollover Accidents Happen
Henderson has numerous high-risk intersections, including North Stephanie Street and West Sunset Road, often the result of red-light runners. Dozens of accidents also happen at South Eastern Avenue and St. Rose Parkway. Rollovers are not uncommon at these locations. They happen for numerous reasons:
- Speeding drivers. When a driver travels at a high rate of speed, and a collision occurs, there is so much force and energy present that the car rolls over instead of just coming to a stop.
- Tripping. In some cases, rollovers occur when a tire trips over a curb, causing the vehicle to lose balance and tip over.
- Tight turns. Drivers turning too tightly, especially at high speed, cause the wheels to lose contact with the ground.
Many factors can contribute to these accidents, including chemical impairment, medical conditions, animals on the road, and faulty design. As your rollover accident attorney in Henderson, we will thoroughly discuss your case with you, then work to find evidence to support any claims. The more details we have, the better we can build your claim.
Who is Responsible in a Rollover Accident Is a Critical Factor
Rollovers happen for many reasons, and until you know what all of those factors are, it may not be clear who is at fault for your injuries and losses. Whether your car rolled over or you suffered damage resulting from a car rolling over, we will work hard to gather evidence that shows who is at fault. Consider these scenarios:
- Another driver strikes you. If a driver strikes you, creating so much force that your vehicle flips, that driver may be responsible for your injuries and losses.
- A truck driver strikes you. Rollovers involving trucks are more common because more weight and force are involved. The truck driver and sometimes the trucking company could be at fault.
- Faulty components. If your rollover is caused by a faulty brake, tire, or steering system, the manufacturer or installer could be held accountable.
- Poor road conditions. If the accident occurred due to highly slick or otherwise dangerous road conditions, and we can show that the city knew of the risk and failed to act, the city itself may be at fault.
- Numerous parties are involved. Many rollovers happen in multi-car pileups. In these situations, more than one person may be found at fault for your injuries and losses.
You have the right to pursue fair compensation for your losses, and identifying those at fault is always the first step. Contact our Henderson rollover accident attorney at Shook & Stone to learn about your legal rights. Expect us to fight for you to receive fair compensation.
Rollovers Cause Serious Injuries and Losses
One of the most important reasons to hire an attorney is the severity of your injuries and other losses. Many victims do not survive these accidents, and that often means families have to try to piece together what occurred. If your loved one or you suffered any of the following serious injuries in a rollover, speak to an attorney before you settle your case and claim:
- Spinal cord damage: Often resulting in partial or complete paralysis, many victims suffer for the rest of their lives in these cases.
- Traumatic head injuries, including concussions: Victims may see a change in behavior, cognitive function, or neurological function due to these injuries.
- Amputations: Victims who lose a digit, limb, or other body part as a result of a rollover accident may need legal support.
- Bone fractures and complicated crushing accidents: Often result in long-term limited mobility and incredible pain, and victims often face a very high level of loss in these cases.
- Internal injuries: Many of these result in victims with internal bleeding or serious damage to organs from the blunt force trauma of the accident.
Do not overlook your mental health as well. You have the right to pursue compensation for the impact on your mental well-being. With our Henderson rollover accident lawyer on your side, you can expect outstanding legal support, even in the most challenging legal matters. Do not hesitate to contact our Henderson personal injury lawyer about your case.

What Your Rollover Accident Claim Is Worth
One of our responsibilities in representing you is to seek maximum compensation for your injuries and losses. The insurance company will never tell you what your case is worth. We have to prove it. Your claim may include:
- Medical costs for emergency care

- Property damage to your vehicle requires repairing or replacing it
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
- Loss of quality of life
In Nevada, under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) § 11.190, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against those responsible. In these cases, we must act quickly to gather evidence and seek a negotiated settlement first. If that does not alleviate the situation, we must act within the statute of limitations. We encourage you not to wait; contact us now.
