Side-by-Side Rollovers Carry Unique Legal Considerations in Liberty, SC

Liberty sits along a network of rural roads and open terrain, areas where off-road and utility vehicles are commonly used both recreationally and for property access. Side-by-sides and UTVs are more prone to rollovers than standard passenger vehicles because of their higher center of gravity. 

People thrown from a rolling vehicle can suffer broken bones, spinal injuries, or head trauma, and injuries can vary significantly depending on where each occupant landed and how the vehicle came to rest. When multiple people are involved, injury severity can differ widely from one person to the next.

Liability in these cases can extend beyond the driver. If a mechanical failure, unstable design, or missing safety feature played a role, a car accident lawyer can help determine whether a manufacturer, property owner, or another party shares responsibility. 

South Carolina's modified comparative negligence rule allows an injured passenger to recover damages as long as they are not found more than 50% at fault.
