Rollover Crashes in Kansas
A rollover crash can be a traumatic event. Many occupants are often ejected in these types of accidents, and this is particularly true of those who are not properly restrained at the time of impact. The majority of rollover fatalities involve unrestrained passengers, and the number of rollover crashes continues to grow year after year. Despite making up less than 3 percent of reported collisions nationwide, rollovers contribute to more than 33 percent of deadly crashes on average. Top-heavy vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks are much more likely to overturn in the event of a crash, and the majority of rollovers involve two vehicles. A trained attorney will be able to help you pursue a strong claim for compensation following a life-changing car accident.
