After a rollover crash - hiring the RIGHT personal injury attorney

Rollover accidents – when a vehicle rolls over onto its roof during a crash – account for a small percentage of all auto accidents, but for a full third of all crash deaths.  This is because these types of accidents are usually very serious, and many vehicles are not designed to keep occupants from being injured in a bad rollover.

 

Vehicles may be getting safer, now that the IIHS has introduced new roof strength criteria for cars, vans and SUVs to make it onto their list of Top Safety Picks.  This year only 27 vehicles made it onto the IIHS list because of the new rollover tests – this is a testament to how much there is still to do when it comes to vehicle safety.

 

Several other factors also affect an occupant’s safety in a rollover: whether or not  the accident victim was wearing a seatbelt (most deaths are because the person was unbelted), side curtain airbags triggered by rollover sensors protect victim’s heads, making a serious brain injury less likely, and well-designed seat belts can prevent a driver from being thrown into the steering wheel and suffering upper body damage.

 

Because injuries from a rollover accident can be so serious, it is in your best interest to find a board-certified and experienced personal injury attorney to help you secure fair and just compensation.  Without good legal representation, you might find yourself without adequate compensation for your medical bills, property damage, repair bills, rehabilitation costs and other expenses.
