Deadly Rollover Wrecks account for One Third of Fatal Crashes in U.S.

U.S. NHTSA data reveals that while only about 10% of all accidents involve rollovers, approximately 33%, or one third, of fatal crashes in the United States involve rollover wrecks and/or occupant ejection from vehicles. Rollover accidents tend to cause vehicle ejection more frequently than other types of crashes. And our I-10 rollover accident attorneys point out that around 75% of vehicle ejections in crashes prove fatal.

On Friday morning, a 3-vehicle crash on eastbound I-10 near Fry Road ended with one of the vehicles overturned. Rollover wrecks occur most often when a driver tries to negotiate a turn or a curve and loses control of the vehicle due to unsafe speeds, inattention, driver fatigue, intoxication, or some other factor. Our I-10 rollover accident attorneys note that sometimes swerving to avoid another vehicle sends a car out of control and results in a multi-vehicle crash with rollovers.

Your seatbelts, vehicle airbags, and the safety glass in your windshield are some of the safety features that could prevent fatal vehicle ejections in crashes.
