What Are the Most Life-Threatening Types of Car Accidents?
Rollover Accidents
A rollover accident refers to a car crash where a vehicle’s center of gravity shifts on impact, causing it to flip over. At higher speeds, a vehicle may roll over multiple times before coming to a stop, jeopardizing the health and safety of the victims inside the vehicle. On a busy highway like I-55, a rollover accident carries a major risk of a pile-up. Rollover accidents can often be attributed to acts of negligence, such as a driver not checking his or her blind spots before merging into another lane and swiping another vehicle at high speeds.
