The Dangers of Rollover Accidents in Maine
Rollover crashes are among the most severe types of vehicle accidents, often resulting in serious or life-threatening injuries. High-speed roadways like Interstate 95 pose additional risks, as sudden lane changes, sharp curves, or driver fatigue can increase the likelihood of a vehicle overturning.
According to state traffic data, a significant percentage of rollover crashes involve SUVs and trucks, which have a higher center of gravity. Other contributing factors include icy or wet roads, tire blowouts, and abrupt steering maneuvers. When entrapment occurs, victims often require extensive rescue efforts and immediate medical treatment.
For those involved in rollover accidents, seeking medical attention is critical, even if injuries are not immediately apparent. Understanding legal options can also help accident victims recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and vehicle damage.
