Rollover Accidents in Pennsylvania
Rollover crashes can be particularly dangerous due to the force of impact and the risk of occupants being trapped or ejected from the vehicle. These types of accidents often result from high speeds, abrupt maneuvers, or collisions with another object or vehicle.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), rollover crashes account for a significant portion of severe injury and fatal accidents each year. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, are at greater risk for rollovers, particularly when making sudden turns or traveling on uneven surfaces.
Victims of rollover accidents often face serious medical complications, including head trauma, spinal injuries, and broken bones. Seeking immediate medical attention and understanding one’s legal rights is crucial after a crash.
