Why Are Exit Ramp Rollovers More Common Than Highway Rollovers in Amesbury, MA?

Exit ramp rollovers happen more often than highway rollovers because ramps require drivers to slow down and turn sharply at the same time, and a vehicle entering a curve too fast can tip if its center of gravity shifts beyond what its tires can handle. 

The I-495 and Route 118 interchange sits near other tight curves along the Amesbury and Salisbury line, including the ramps connecting to Route 110, where similar geometry has long made rollover crashes more likely than on the straighter sections of highway nearby. 

People involved in rollover crashes frequently suffer injuries that differ from typical rear-end or side-impact wrecks, including spinal injuries, head trauma from contact with the roof or window frame, and injuries caused by the vehicle's contents shifting during the rollover itself. 

Massachusetts law requires an injured person to file a personal injury lawsuit within three years of the crash date. The reconstruction of a rollover frequently means examining all the available evidence from the scene which a car accident lawyer can move quickly to preserve since it tends to disappear once a case settles with an insurer.
