Rollover Accidents in Pennsylvania
Rollover accidents, such as the one on Route 66, are among the most dangerous types of crashes, often leading to severe injuries or fatalities. These accidents are frequently caused by factors such as high speeds, abrupt maneuvers, or roadway conditions.
Data from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) indicates that rollovers account for a small percentage of all crashes but are disproportionately responsible for serious injuries and fatalities. Drivers are urged to remain cautious, avoid sudden steering corrections, and reduce speeds on rural roads to prevent such accidents.
For individuals injured in rollover accidents, recovery can be challenging both physically and financially. Seeking legal advice may help victims understand their rights and options for compensation to address medical costs, lost wages, and other damages.
