Rollover Accidents Cause Serious Injuries
Rollover accidents can cause serious injuries such as spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and can cause objects to penetrate the body of the victim. Even if you believe that you’re not hurt, you should get emergency medical treatment. Rollover accidents may cause internal injuries that may not have any obvious symptoms. When left untreated, internal injuries from rollover accidents can result in irreversible damage or even death.
Sometimes, vehicle manufacturers issue recalls because their high profile vehicles have a defective roof that may collapse and worsen the injuries in a rollover accident. Vehicle recalls are often issued because the vehicle has a problem with instability. This product defect can cause you or your family to be at a higher risk of being in a rollover accident. If your vehicle was on a recall list, you may be entitled to recover monetary damages for your injuries, medical care, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
