Last year, more than 20 million vehicles across the U.S. were involved in some kind of accident—approximately 4 million people received some level of auto accident-related injury. With so many accidents, there is a myriad of factors that can cause collisions and rollovers. The majority of these factors can be broken down into three categories: defective products, driver negligence, and recklessness.

Defective Products Include:

Airbags that are missing, faulty, or cause serious harm to the driver
Seatbelts and head restraints that actually contribute to the injury
Defective tires that blow-out or lack proper treading
Roofs or roll-bars that haven’t been reinforced to sustain rollovers or collision

Driver Negligence Includes:

Distraction caused by a cell phone conversation
Reading at the wheel
Eating while driving
Searching or reaching for something while driving

Driver Recklessness Includes:

Failure to signal for a turn
Tailgating or following too close
Speeding or making unsafe lane changes
Driving while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or fatigue

Rear-end, head-on, and broadside collisions, as well as rollovers and pedestrian injury, can cause a broad range of injuries. The common causes of auto accidents listed above are only an introduction to the literally hundreds of factors that lead to a rollover or collision.
