Rollover Accidents in Illinois
Rollover crashes, like the one reported on I-88, are among the most dangerous types of roadway incidents due to the high risk of severe injury or death. These accidents can occur for various reasons, including sudden swerving to avoid hazards, collisions with other vehicles, or loss of control at higher speeds. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as SUVs and trucks, are more prone to rolling over, though any vehicle can be involved in such an event.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, rollover accidents make up a small percentage of total crashes but account for a disproportionately high rate of fatalities and serious injuries. The presence of a medical helicopter at this scene underscores the potential severity of injuries in such collisions, as air transport is typically used when rapid, advanced medical intervention is necessary.
Those injured in rollover accidents should seek comprehensive medical evaluation to address both visible and hidden injuries. Documentation from the crash scene, including photos, witness statements, and official reports, can be essential when pursuing insurance claims or legal action. Illinois law allows victims injured by another party’s negligence to seek compensation for medical costs, lost income, and other accident-related damages.
