Rollover Accident Information From MN Rollover Accident Attorney

According to a 2011 report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

“Rollover crashes still comprise a disproportionately large number of highway fatalities. Although they account for only three percent of vehicles in crashes, they lead to approximately one-third of all occupant deaths. Some vehicle safety features recently introduced in the motor vehicle fleet may be contributing to a reduction in rollover crashes and the harm they cause. These features include rollover sensors to trigger inflatable SCABs (aka rollover protection) to mitigate occupant injury, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to reduce loss of yaw control, and Roll Stability Control (RSC) to minimize the number of rollover crashes that occur. These safety features are typically installed in Light Trucks and Vans (LTVs).”
