Rollover Accidents in Texas
Although rollover crashes account for fewer than 3 percent of all auto accidents, they cause more than 33 percent of fatal crashes nationwide. Unrestrained passengers are involved in the majority of these deaths. In the United States in 2021, rollover crashes claimed 7,640 lives or over 29 percent of all passenger car occupant fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are more than 280,000 rollover collisions in the United States each year. Recent years have seen a sharp spike in major rollover incidents. Some have attributed this increase to the rising demand for SUVs, pickup trucks, and other top-heavy cars.
