The Dangers of Rollover Crashes in Texas
Rollover accidents are among the most severe types of crashes, often leading to life-threatening injuries. High-speed roadways like SH 71 pose additional risks, as vehicles traveling at higher speeds are more susceptible to rollovers due to sudden swerves, uneven road surfaces, or loss of control.
According to state traffic data, rollovers frequently involve single-vehicle crashes, with contributing factors such as excessive speed, drowsy driving, and road conditions playing significant roles. Taller vehicles like SUVs and trucks are more prone to rollovers due to their higher center of gravity, but any car can overturn under certain conditions.
Those involved in rollover crashes often suffer from head trauma, spinal injuries, or internal damage. Seeking immediate medical attention is critical, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, understanding insurance coverage and legal options can help victims recover medical expenses and damages after a severe crash.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a rollover crash, knowing your rights and the proper steps to take after an accident is essential. For more information or assistance following an accident, contact Local Accident Reports.
