Rollover Accidents in Connecticut
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents, often leading to severe injuries due to the force of impact and risk of ejection. On highways like I-95, factors such as high speeds, sudden lane changes, and hazardous road conditions can contribute to rollovers. Bridges, like the Gold Star Bridge in New London, may also present additional risks due to wind conditions and reduced maneuverability.
Common injuries in rollover crashes include head trauma, spinal injuries, and fractures, even when occupants can exit the vehicle on their own. Seeking immediate medical evaluation is critical, as some injuries may not present symptoms right away.
For those involved in rollover accidents, understanding their legal options can be important. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages, depending on the circumstances of the crash.
