Vans with Passengers Become Much More Unstable and Easier to Roll Over When Driven Faster than 50 MPH – Should Driver Have Known This Fact?


How Safe is the Average Van?

A van is considered a higher risk for roll-overs than car because of its size and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a loud and clear warning about van accidents.

 

The NHTSA urged van drivers and passengers - especially those of 15-passenger vehicles - to take "appropriate precautions to guard against the possibility of a tragic rollover crash."

 

The press release stated that these vans are at a much higher rollover risk than other passenger vehicles especially when they are fully loaded with passengers or luggage.

 

The NHTSA also advised passengers to wear seatbelts at all times in order to avoid injuries from van wrecks - noting that 80 percent of all passengers that died from rollovers and van accidents were not wearing seat belts. The NHTSA also stated that driver inexperience seems to be a growing problem and warned passengers to ensure that its van driver has appropriate training and experience.

 

Finally, the NHTSA warned that van accidents are caused by the vans' tires. Signs of wear or aging, or low pressure, on the tires are a clear indication that a van could unstable and can cause a van accident and roll-over.

 

The Fatality Analysis Reporting System ("FARs") reported that are approximately 750 deaths annually from large van accidents and almost 2,000 deaths reported from mini-van crashes as well 32 other deaths from mid-sized or special-sized vans.

Common Causes of Van Accidents

The most common scenarios in a van accident case could include the following:

  • Incompetent or unprepared drivers
  • Over-taxed or fatigued drivers
  • Carelessly backing up of a van
  • Allowing more passengers on the van than is legally permitted or safe
  • Driver exceeds the legal speed limit
  • Drivers or companies that overloaded the top rack or the vehicle with luggage causing an imbalance
  • Drivers or companies that loaded the van heavier than the total permissible weight of the van; this takes into account the weight of the driver, passengers, and cargo

When Hiring an Attorney


When selecting an attorney to represent you and/or your loved ones, it is important to know how many victims your potential lawyer has represented.  We always encourage you to speak to speak with as many lawyers until you feel comfortable – after all, the lawyer you hire should answer your questions, be available to speak with you and provide you with clear, honest and direct answers.

 

Ask the lawyer you are thinking about hiring:

  • Whether he or she has ever been recognized as one of the best attorneys in their field by his or her peers

  • What type of ratings they have attained from Martindale Hubbell or AVVO

  • Whether he or she has handled the particular type of case in which you want to hire him for

  • Whether he or she has ever written any books on the subject for which you are hiring them

  • How often they are called upon the press and news media to provide analysis on the issues involved in the type of case you want to hire him or her
