Rollover Accidents in Kansas
There is always a risk of being involved in a crash. One of the deadliest types of collisions on American roadways is a rollover. Passengers run the risk of being thrown and suffering severe injuries when a vehicle overturns on the road. It is more likely for unrestrained passengers to be flung from the car and suffer life-threatening injuries, but you can still sustain life-threatening injuries while being restrained. Nearly 33 percent of rollover deaths in a recent year involved restrained occupants, with nearly 75 percent involving unrestrained passengers. It is important that you can pursue a full recovery after being hurt in a crash by working closely with a competent legal team.
