Iowa Rollover Accidents May Lead to Roof Crush Injuries

Not much thought is ever given to a car's roof. We drive around knowing that our roof will protect us from the rain, sun, flying debris and other road dangers. However, what if a rollover accident occurs? Serious injuries and even loss of life can take place if the roof of your car wasn't designed or built correctly.

A roof collapse or crush occurs when the roof of your car caves in and into the car's cabin, which occurs more often in rollover accidents. There are a number of things that can lead to roof crush injuries after an Iowa rollover accident, including: defective materials, manufacturing defects, failure of roof supports, and even defective tires.

When rollover accidents with roof collapses occur, serious injuries may result including:

• Spinal cord injury
• Traumatic brain injury
• Head trauma and brain damage
• Paralysis
• Other permanent disabilities
• Death

Because these types of accidents are often outside the driver's control, you may be entitled to damages for your injuries or loss of a loved one. An eastern Iowa car accident attorney may be able to help you recover financial compensation for medical bills, physical therapy, rehab, lost wages, permanent losses and more.
