Rollover Accidents in New York
Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous types of vehicle crashes, often leading to serious injuries or fatalities. These incidents typically occur due to high speeds, sharp turns, or loss of vehicle control on uneven surfaces.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), rollover accidents make up a small percentage of total crashes but account for a disproportionately high number of severe injuries and fatalities. Many of these crashes involve SUVs or trucks, which have a higher center of gravity.
For individuals injured in rollover accidents, medical bills, vehicle repairs, and emotional distress can create significant challenges. Seeking medical care and understanding legal options can help victims recover compensation for their losses.
