Rollover Accidents in California
Rollover accidents are among the most severe types of crashes, often resulting in significant injuries or fatalities. In California, such crashes frequently occur on highways like PCH, where high speeds and sudden lane changes can increase the risk of rollovers. These incidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including driver distraction, impaired driving, and adverse road conditions.
In cases where a vehicle overturns, occupants face a higher risk of head trauma, spinal injuries, and fractures. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that rollover crashes account for nearly 20% of all fatal accidents in the U.S., with many of these involving SUVs and trucks due to their higher center of gravity.
Victims of rollover crashes may require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. If the accident was caused by another party’s negligence, those affected may have legal options to pursue compensation for their injuries, lost wages, and other damages. Seeking guidance from a qualified legal professional can help victims understand their rights and next steps.
