The automobile can also be in a rollover accident where it basically flips and collides with the road, such as SUV rollover accidents.

Automobile accidents cause death to about 1.2 million people each year in the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). If death occurs, it may be a case of wrongful death.

• Do not leave the scene and cooperate fully with emergency and police personnel.
• Do not admit fault and do not discuss the accident with anyone
• Determine if anyone is injured. If someone is injured get help immediately.
• Identify any damage to your automobile
• Get as much information as possible about other vehicles and their owners such as names, phone numbers, description of car, license plate number, vehicle identification number (VIN), and insurance information
• Call the police and file an accident report
• Report the accident to your own insurance agent.
• Contact an experienced auto accident law firm such as The Falvello Law Firm
