Rollover accidents are one of the most dangerous—and fatal—types of car crashes. In this blog, learn the common causes of rollover accidents and how to prevent them.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 3% of all auto accidents involve rollover crashes. While they account for a small percentage of total accidents, they result in a disproportionately high number of fatalities and severe injuries. The NHTSA reports about 30% of all passenger vehicle fatalities are associated with a rollover accident. Understanding why rollover accidents are so dangerous, what causes them, and how you can protect yourself is critical for every driver.

Rollover accidents can happen anytime and anywhere. But, there are certain factors that significantly increase the chance of being involved in a rollover accident. Below, we identify the most common causes of rollover accidents and how you can prevent them.
2. Vehicle design and type – Certain vehicles are more likely to rollover than others. This is due to the vehicle’s design and type, which directly correlates to its center of gravity.
3. Reckless driving behaviors – Reckless driving behaviors (other than speeding) are also significant factors in rollover accidents. Below are the two most dangerous behaviors.
4. Road conditions – Certain road conditions can increase the risk of rollover accidents.
While rollover accidents are not 100% preventable, there are certain things you can to do to reduce your risk of being involved or injured in this type of crash.
Rollover accidents are uniquely dangerous due to the forces and impacts involved. However, understanding the common causes of rollovers—whether it’s vehicle design, driver behavior, or road conditions—can help you take preventative action. By driving carefully, wearing your seatbelt, maintaining your vehicle, and ensuring you are aware of the risks, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of a rollover accident and protect yourself if one occurs.
