Rollover Accidents in Connecticut
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents, often leading to severe injuries due to the violent nature of the impact. Vehicles with a high center of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, are more susceptible to rolling over, particularly when taking sharp turns at high speeds or encountering uneven road surfaces.
Entrapment situations, like the one in this Vernon crash, can be particularly concerning as victims may suffer from delayed medical treatment due to the time required for extrication. Common injuries in rollover crashes include head trauma, spinal injuries, and broken bones.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a serious crash, knowing your legal and medical options is essential. Seeking prompt medical care and understanding your rights can help protect your well-being and financial security in the aftermath of an accident.
