People in auto accidents are often protected by the frames of their own vehicles. All that metal can absorb impacts and keep people inside safe, but collisions involving rollovers can still leave victims vulnerable to severe injury.
While rollover accidents aren’t as common as other accident types they account for an alarming percentage of fatalities seen in accidents. In a single year, safecar.com reported that only 2% of accidents across the nation involved a rollover, however, they were responsible for almost 35% of the deaths occurring over the year.
A driver’s mistake can lead to a chain reaction crash that can send vehicles in several directions and lead to a dangerous rollover resulting in serious injuries and even the loss of life.
Fresno Three-Vehicle Accident Injures at Least One Person
Three vehicles collided in central Fresno Wednesday morning. KSEE-TV reported the accident happened near Palm and Princeton Avenues around 8 a.m. on November 4, 2020.
Fresno police say the accident involved two pick-ups, one pulling a landscaping trailer, and a car. The impact sent the car rolling over and left it on its top. At least one person was taken to the hospital with injuries.
Investigators are still determining how the accident occurred.
Compensation for Victims in Rollover Accidents
The aftermath of a serious accident can leave several victims in its wake. Those hurt may find themselves having to worry about their physical health and their financial stability after a devastating injury.
Injured victims can discover they can’t return to work for days or weeks after a crash and soon they are missing multiple paychecks just as medical bills start to come due. The worry over how to pay for all of these bills and even basic living expenses can add to the stress during recovery.
This is why drivers are required to carry auto insurance. A claim for damages filed against the at-fault driver and his insurance company can provide money for victims trying to get their lives back on track.
The unfortunate truth is, even when dealing with extreme injuries, insurance agents will still try to diminish claims and payout as little as possible. They may offer you enough to pay your doctor bills now, but what about down the road when you need surgery or you’ve missed more time at work and are out of money. An attorney fighting for your rights can help make sure you don’t become a victim a second time when insurance companies try to ignore your pain and suffering.
