Deadly Rollover Accidents in New Jersey
Crash victims are known to suffer serious and even life-threatening injuries on the road. Rollover crash victims are particularly vulnerable as the car speeds down the road, potentially ejecting them and causing severe injuries. Even though rollovers only happen in about three percent of car crashes in the United States, they have become more common in recent years and are now responsible for over 30 percent of traffic deaths on average. People who are not wearing a seatbelt are much more likely to be thrown out of a rolling car and suffer injuries that could be fatal. Most of the people who died in car accidents were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.
