Rollover Crashes in New York
On American roadways, rollover collisions are becoming more common. Given that sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks are far more likely to roll in a collision, some have suggested that their rising popularity is partly to blame. For whatever reason, rollovers account for less than three percent of reported auto accidents in the United States, but on average, they lead to roughly 33 percent of roadway fatalities. While single vehicles are involved in most rollovers, many include two or more. Vehicle occupants run the risk of being ejected and sustaining severe injuries, and statistics show that most fatal rollovers include unrestrained occupants. It can be difficult to get back on your feet after a serious car accident. You should consult with a qualified lawyer to get the most out of your personal injury claim.
