Rollover Crashes in Texas
Despite making up less than 3 percent of reported auto accidents, rollovers are responsible for over 33 percent of fatal collisions in the United States. In most deadly rollover collisions, an unrestrained passenger is involved. Rollover crashes claimed 7,640 lives on American roads in 2021, accounting for almost 29 percent of all passenger vehicle occupant fatalities that year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that there are over 280,000 rollover crashes reported annually, and the rate of major rollover collisions has increased dramatically in recent years. Some have linked this rise to the growing popularity of SUVs, pickup trucks, and other top-heavy vehicles. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a trained lawyer.
