Overturned Vehicle Accidents in Massachusetts
Vehicle rollovers, such as this crash on I-95 SB, are among the most dangerous types of accidents, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities. Rollovers frequently occur due to high-speed travel, sudden lane changes, or impact with other vehicles or roadside barriers. Interstate highways, where vehicles travel at higher speeds, pose an increased risk of these crashes, particularly when weather conditions or driver fatigue are contributing factors.
Rollover accidents often result in severe injuries, including head trauma, spinal cord injuries, fractures, and internal damage. Victims may face prolonged hospital stays, rehabilitation, and significant financial burdens from medical bills and lost wages. Massachusetts follows a comparative fault system, allowing accident victims to pursue compensation if another party’s negligence contributed to the crash. However, determining liability in rollover accidents can be complex, as multiple factors may be involved.
For those affected by serious accidents, seeking medical attention, gathering evidence, and understanding legal options are critical steps toward recovery. If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, contact Local Accident Reports for assistance and resources.
