15 Passenger Van Accident Lawyer

[practice areas page]

It is surprising that one of the most dangerous vehicles on road is used extensively by schools, day care centers, hotels, airports, churches and scout troops. Yes, you’ve guessed right, we are talking about 15 passenger vans. In the US, hundreds of people die or get seriously injured in 15 passenger van accidents. At the Law Offices of Tanya Gendelman PC, we have helped victims of such accidents recoup from their losses and move ahead in life.

15 passenger van accidents occur mainly due to two main design defects of the vans. Firstly, they have high center of gravity and are therefore known to be top heavy. When these vans are fully loaded with 15 passengers, the problem worsens as most of the vehicle’s mass is concentrated above the wheel base and the center of gravity moves to the rear and upward. This makes the van difficult to control and prone to rollover in any accident avoidance situation like a sharp maneuvers or emergency braking. A recent study illustrated that a fully loaded 15 passenger van is 3 times more likely to roll than a normal sized van. The second major design defect of the van is the back extending far behind the rear axle. If the weight inside the van is not properly dispersed throughout the cabin, the back end becomes heavy making a sudden sharp turn a potentially deadly maneuver. It is quite understandable that driving and controlling these vehicles require exceptional skill and experience.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Many times these vans are driven by people who have little experience in controlling such vehicles. This significantly impacts the number of 15 passenger van accidents in the US today. Passengers involved in 15 passenger van accidents are at great risk of suffering from serious brain and spinal cord injuries.
