Vehicle Rollovers in Texas
Rollover accidents are among the most dangerous types of vehicle crashes, often leading to severe injuries or fatalities. In rural areas like Van, where roads such as FM 314 and VZCR 4903 may have uneven terrain, sharp curves, or limited visibility, the risk of rollovers increases. Factors contributing to these incidents can include speeding, distracted driving, overcorrecting, or encountering obstacles on the roadway.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas reported over 3,000 rollover crashes in 2023. While not all rollover accidents result in life-threatening injuries, they often cause significant trauma, including head injuries, fractures, and spinal damage. Even in cases where injuries are initially deemed non-life-threatening, it is essential for victims to seek thorough medical evaluations to rule out internal injuries or delayed complications.
If you are involved in a rollover accident, it is important to seek immediate medical attention, document the scene, and report the incident to law enforcement. In Texas, individuals injured in accidents caused by another party’s negligence may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other related damages.
