Rollover Accidents in Illinois

Rollovers are dangerous incidents that have a higher fatality rate than other types of accidents. In 2010, 7,600 people were killed in rollover collisions across the country. Around 69% of those killed were unrestrained at the time of the accident.

Dealing with the aftermath of a serious crash is a long and frustrating process. The financial impact of medical care, repair bills, and lost wages can be extremely disruptive to our lives. Sadly, when victims depend solely on insurance companies, they often feel even more alone and confused.
