North Carolina 15-passenger Van Accident Attorneys

It’s one of the most popular forms of transportation for small groups. But 15-passenger vans can present a catastrophic danger to those who are injured in rollover accidents that can endanger life and limb. Read on for more information on 15-passenger van accidents and your legal rights.

15-passenger vans are involved in more rollover accidents than any other vehicle on the road. The statistics are sobering: according to the National Transportation Safety Board, more than half of individuals who are in 15-passenger van accidents are killed, and a majority of 15-passenger van accidents do not involve any other vehicles.

What causes Raleigh 15-passenger van accidents? Several factors can come into play: the vans are designed with a higher center of gravity, which can destabilize even further once passengers enter the van. This design flaw creates a top-heavy vehicle with a propensity to fishtail, lose control on the road, and crash. When a crash does occur, the passengers are placed at extreme risk due to poor padding and lack of opportunities to exit the vehicle.

Unfortunately, these vehicles are manufactured and marketed despite widespread knowledge of their serious design flaws. Crash tests by most major auto manufacturers have shown that 15-passenger vans eject passengers and roll over more often than any other passenger vehicle, but that has not kept these companies from continuing to produce and sell these vans. Though several states have attempted to regulate the use of 15-passenger vans, little has been done to protect consumers whose lives are placed at risk whenever they use these vans.

Individuals who are injured in 15-passenger van accidents do have legal rights – they can sue the manufacturer in a product liability lawsuit and get compensation for the costs associated with their injury. If you’ve been injured in a 15-passenger van accident in North Carolina, you could qualify for compensation – but your likelihood of getting it is dramatically increased when you rely upon an experienced, aggressive, and reputable North Carolina van accident attorney with product liability and auto accident expertise.
