Rollover Accidents in Texas

Rollovers are a particularly devastating type of crash that can easily cause serious injuries, particularly when passengers are not properly restrained. These types of crashes have become more common in the United States, but they still only account for around 3 percent of recorded auto crashes nationwide, according to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Nonetheless, they are thought to be responsible for 30 percent of fatalities involving passenger cars. Victims of these crashes frequently have injuries that can last the rest of their lives. An estimated 75 percent of rollover crashes involve just one car, while two or more vehicles are involved in the remaining 25 percent.  Accident victims must partner with a trained car crash lawyer in order to ensure their legal rights are protected following a life-changing auto accident.
