Rollover accidents are particularly dangerous when they involve large commercial trucks. A rollover occurs when a semi-truck flips onto its side, or even all the way over to its roof, while driving.

When a truck rolls over, not only will it collide with other vehicles in its path, but the trailer often loses its cargo. Cargo may hit passing vehicles or even cause fires if flammable.

If the cargo is toxic or hazardous, chemical-related injuries may occur and the clean-up process may be extensive. As you can imagine, the destruction from rollover truck accidents can be widespread and extensive.
