  • Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates and, even though they’re being recommended for girls as young as nine, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15.

Roof Crush Accidents in Houston 

Roof Crush Accidents in Houston
 
Every year, roof crush accidents kill thousands of Americans. All too often, the crushed roof could have been prevented with a better design or materials on the part of the vehicle manufacturer. Roof crush accidents in Houston or anywhere else can result in a number of specific problems, namely the reduction of passenger space that results in serious injury, and the opening of space that can eject passengers from the vehicle either fully or partially. Some vehicles are more vulnerable than others to roof crush accidents simply due to their design—a poor center of gravity during a turn, for example, can create a greater likelihood that the vehicle will roll and crush the roof, either pinning passengers inside (and making it more difficult for rescue personnel to reach them in a timely fashion) or ejecting them and adding further injuries. Weak roof supports can also contribute to this type of accident, as can defective glass in the windows.

Cars with a high center of gravity, such as many SUVs, are more vulnerable to roof crush accidents due to their propensity to roll. Furthermore, the weight class regulations that the federal government applies to smaller vehicles may not always apply to SUVs, meaning that there are fewer design restrictions for some safety issues like roof strength. Larger SUVs are more likely to suffer from this issue than smaller ones. In a rollover accident, roof strength is critical; an intact roof can easily make the difference between walking away from an accident with minimal injury or not walking away at all.

Roof crush accident injuries that don't result in death are typically serious—traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and paralysis are all common in such accidents. Even if you're not sure if you've received major injuries, be sure to get examined by a doctor after the accident. Indeed, some head injuries may not be evident until later on. No matter what the cause of the roof crush accident was, getting legal help from the lawyers of Denena & Points as soon as you can is a good idea.
