Rollover Accidents in New York
It is impossible to be fully ready for a catastrophic auto collision. In a matter of seconds, victims of rollover collisions can sustain potentially fatal injuries. When a car rolls, its occupants, particularly those who are not buckled up, could be ejected. Rollovers cause about 30 percent of traffic fatalities in the country, despite being involved in less than three percent of reported crashes. Unrestrained passengers were involved in most of these fatalities. Some have cited that the growing popularity of SUVs, pickup trucks, and other top-heavy cars is partly to blame for the growth in rollover crashes in the United States. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you should consult a qualified lawyer to pursue a strong claim.
