Rollover Crashes on Long Island Highways
Rollover crashes, such as the one reported on William Floyd Pkwy in Ridge, are among the most hazardous types of vehicle accidents. These incidents often result in serious injuries due to the violent motion of the vehicle and the risk of occupant ejection, especially if seat belts are not worn.
Long Island highways like William Floyd Pkwy see a high volume of traffic, and a combination of speed, distraction, or abrupt lane changes can easily lead to rollover scenarios. Roads near intersections or areas with merging traffic, such as Rt 25, are particularly prone to such accidents.

Injured victims may face extensive recovery periods and mounting medical costs. Legal options are available for those seeking compensation if negligence or unsafe driving contributed to the crash.
