Rollover Accidents in Kansas
Rollover crashes are often more serious than other kinds of collisions. When a car overturns, the occupants can be fully or partially ejected, resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Of course, this is much more likely if you are not wearing a seatbelt. Unfortunately, unrestrained occupants make up the bulk of rollover fatalities. However, even if wearing a seatbelt, nearly 33 percent of rollover fatalities involve restrained occupants, so no one is completely safe. The majority of rollovers involve a single vehicle. There are many factors that can contribute to a rollover. Driver error is one of the most common, but inclement roads can also play a part. No matter what caused the accident, there is always a chance of serious injuries. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you may be able to pursue compensation by filing a personal injury claim.
