Rollover Accidents in Kansas
The sensation of traveling in a vehicle when it rolls can be life-changing. Not only will you be startled, but you can potentially be ejected from the crash and be seriously injured. In 2021 alone, rollover crashes claimed the lives of 7,640 passenger automobile occupants in the United States. The majority of these deaths were unrestrained passengers. One car is involved in about 85 percent of rollovers that end in fatalities, with two or more vehicles involved in the remaining 15 percent. Top-heavy vehicles are much more likely to overturn on the road, and you should be ready to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained attorney.
