Hello, I’m Todd Tracy with the Tracy law firm in Dallas, Texas, here with another Todd Talk. Today I want to speak with you about rollovers and roof crush, and the kinds of injuries that we sometimes see. Now, typically, in the cases that I handle, and a roof structure has performed as poorly as the roof that you see behind me, I typically see catastrophic brain injury, or I see paralyzing injuries because the cervical spine literally blows apart. However, there are some cases where the spinal cord injury is not severe enough to actually cause a paralyzing injury, but the surgeons are able to put our clients back together again, but they then have an injury known as incontinence.
Many of us, or all of us in fact, never want to have to wear a diaper again. But if you have damaged your spinal cord, and you are not paralyzed, you can have neurological injuries that can actually cause you to be incontinent, and not know when or where you’re going to have to go to the restroom. And many of my clients have to wear a diaper because they have suffered a spinal cord injury, because the roof has crushed down on their spine, caused an injury to their spine, but did not cause a paralyzing injury. I want you to think about the indignity of this for a moment. Everyone’s goal in life is to get through diapers as quickly as possible. Can you imagine in your golden years having to use a diaper because you were involved in a rollover? It is one of the most horrific injuries because it takes away your dignity and it takes away your freedom, and it takes away your independence. If you or a loved one have been involved in a rollover accident, even if you did not suffered a paralyzing injury, but you have suffered the indignity of an injury that has left you incontinent, I hope you would contact a qualified law firm, and we would welcome an opportunity to speak with you at the Tracy Firm. Thank you. 

If you, a family member, or friend have suffered serious injuries or they were killed in an auto accident, there may be a case against the car maker. The victim’s or family members of the deceased person may be entitled to significantly more money in damages than just a negligence case about the cause of the accident. 

Remember, whether you were at fault or not in the cause of the accident, car companies are required by federal law to make vehicles that will protect the driver and passengers from serious injuries or death.
