What Can Happen When a Vehicle Overturns?

An overturned vehicle can increase the risk of injury because occupants may experience several forces during the initial impact and rollover. Injuries can vary based on vehicle speed, impact location, seat belt use, and whether airbags deployed.

Multiple people can be hurt when two vehicles collide, particularly if one vehicle overturns. Emergency medical teams may evaluate occupants for head injuries, broken bones, neck or back trauma, and other conditions. Some injuries may require hospital treatment even when they are not considered life-threatening.

1Seek treatment promptly after being injured in an accident. Your first priority should always be your health. Many providers offer treatment on a lien basis, meaning you can get the care you need now and pay later when your claim is resolved.
