Rollover Car Accidents in Pennsylvania

Rollover vehicle accidents are common in Pennsylvania, especially in Allentown and the southeastern region. The area’s busy roads and highways see a lot of traffic, and road conditions can change fast. Accidents happen daily, usually due to distracted driving, speeding, or poor road conditions.

When people get hurt in car crashes, the injuries endured can be minimal or severe. Spinal issues and blunt force injuries can have significant impacts; damaged spinal cords and head injuries result in some of the more severe injuries that can occur. Additionally, some of the most tragic incidents also result in fatal consequences.

The aftermath of a car crash is overwhelming. There is immediate emergency care needed, follow-up care, possible extended care, surgery, occupational therapy, insurance claims, and possible legal actions to consider. Lifestyle changes, temporary or permanent, can include missed work, unpaid wages, medical bills, property damages, and assisted care. Car crashes—even small ones—can be deceiving and expensive for all parties involved.
