Impacts And Injuries

   INJURIES: Head and neck, brain, arms and legs, soft tissue, dislocations, scrapes and bruises.

   48 to 72 hours later: Pain, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, loss of taste, smell or hearing, numbness or tingling and basically the same as listed under Frontal Collision (above) so, stated once again, it is of major importance that you are examined by a medical professional.

   ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS: The typical rollover accident is very serious. The most common factors in single vehicle accidents are approaching a curve at too high a speed, leaving the pavement or highway, or over-correcting the steering wheel - particularly in vehicles with a short wheelbase. The severity of injuries to the occupants generally depends on the beginning velocity of speed, number of rolls, condition of the vehicle, and what your motor vehicle rolled through through and/or into!

   Damage to the vehicle is generally extensive. It has been determined that 60% of the economic costs from rollovers resulted from occupant ejection, and that the initial rollover speed was between 40 and 60 MPH. A recent study reported that restrained occupants showed a higher proportion of neck injuries than the unrestrained.

   INJURIES: Just as stated - - regarding those listed above - - the bottom line is that it's of the greatest importance that each and every individual visit a medical professional for an examination and/or consultation.
