Rollover Accidents in Connecticut
Rollover crashes are among the most dangerous types of vehicle accidents, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Vehicles with a higher center of gravity, such as pickup trucks and SUVs, are more susceptible to rollovers, particularly in high-speed or sharp-turn situations.
Common causes of rollover accidents include excessive speed, sudden maneuvers, roadway conditions, and collisions with other vehicles. When rollovers occur on highway ramps, as seen in this incident, the risk of injuries increases due to the force of impact and potential ejection from the vehicle.
For those injured in rollover crashes, seeking immediate medical care is critical. Beyond physical recovery, victims may need to explore their legal options, particularly if another driver’s actions or hazardous road conditions contributed to the crash. Compensation may be available to cover medical costs, lost wages, and vehicle damage.
