A rollover is a type of vehicle accident, where a vehicle turns over on its side or roof. Such accidents have a tendency to badly injure the occupants of the vehicle, car, bus or truck involved and those around the vehicle. While many auto accidents occur because of human error, many also can be caused or worsened by defective products or inadequate safety mechanisms. Among these problems are vehicles that are prone to rollovers, especially increasingly popular sport utility vehicles, or SUVs. A number of vehicles have also been found to have roofs that cannot withstand rollover accidents, with drivers and passengers injured and killed. People who are injured in rollover accidents may be compensated for their injury, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Crisfield is a city in Somerset County, Maryland, United States. The population was 2,723 at the 2000 census. It is included in the Salisbury, Maryland Metropolitan Statistical Area. Crisfield has the distinction of being the southernmost incorporated city in Maryland. The city now known as Crisfield began as Annemessex, a small fishing village. Its name was changed to Somers Cove, after Benjamin Summers. Only after the business potential for seafood was discovered did the quiet fishing town grow into a large city, due to the efforts of John W. Crisfield in bringing the Pennsylvania Railroad to the town. Crisfield briefly became the second most populous city in the entire state of Maryland, known as the "Seafood Capital of the World"; indeed, its success was so great that the train soot and oyster shells prompted the extension of the city's land into the marshes, so that the downtown area is literally built atop oyster shells, a common claim by those from the city. Crisfield began to slip into decline as the declining health of the Chesapeake Bay began to reduce the watermen's catches. The city has recently seen the construction of condominiums; however, the city still has not seen a significant population growth. However, a Strategic Revitalization Plan is underway and the city's sewer line has been upgraded recently to accommodate the growing needs as more development takes place. Currently, Crisfield is largely a destination for tourism. It hosts many events and festivals, the most prominent of which is the National Hard Crab Derby.
