Rollover Accident in Kentucky: Jeffersonville, Indiana Man Dies in Bullitt County, Kentucky Rollover
A 52 year-old man died on Friday night after the vehicle that he was driving rolled over on Interstate 65 (I-65) in Bullitt County, Kentucky. He was ejected from the vehicle and landed in the path of an oncoming vehicle.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones car accident and wrongful death attorney Larry Jones says, "Vehicles are not supposed to roll over. In cases in which an occupant suffers serious personal injuries or death, it is imperative that the vehicle be immediately secured and a product liability specialist is dispatched to inspect the vehicle, along with an accident reconstructionist."
Jones also says, "In cases in which a vehicle occupant is 'ejected' from the vehicle, it is many times concluded that the occupant was not wearing a seat belt. However, what many people don't realize, is that there are many ways to determine whether or not someone was a wearing a seat belt at the time of the wreck. The high tech way to make such a determination is to retrieve the vehicle's 'black box' --a data recorder that tells various things such as speed at the time of the wreck, whether the airbags deployed and which occupants were wearing seatbelts. Also, an autopsy can reveal signs that the occupant was belted, such as belt burns on the shoulder or neck." Jones says, "Anytime there is a car accident that causes a death, all potential claims must be examined by those with the experience and know-how to identify the various at-fault parties."
