Passenger van accidents, particularly 15-passenger vans involved in a car accident, have been recognized as one of the most dangerous types of vehicles for passengers when involved in a car accident. Multi-passenger/15-passenger vans are used in a variety of different settings, and many of our most people are the ones most frequently hurt or killed in these accidents. Multi-passenger/15-passenger vans are frequently used to transport children in daycare, older or seniors, sports teams, and employees.
All too frequently, drivers of 15-passenger vans are extremely inexperienced. Also, passengers are regularly not belted in. Tires are also a regular source and cause of accidents involving multi-passenger/15-passenger vans.
Here are some shocking statistics regarding car accidents involving multi-passenger/15-passenger vans:
