Illinois Rollover Collisions
Being involved in a rollover can be a terrifying experience. The feeling of your vehicle overturning is extremely jarring, and the vehicle occupants are often thrown around the vehicle, suffering serious injuries. Victims are often ejected from the vehicle entirely.
Rollovers are one of the most dangerous types of roadway collisions. 35 percent of all fatal passenger-vehicle crashes involve rollover accidents. Injured parties may be eligible to recover lost compensation with the help of an Illinois car crash attorney.
