Passenger Van Rollover

Passenger Van Rollover Accident AttorneyNumerous organizations, groups and commercial shuttle companies use 15 passenger vans due to the fact that they can transport a large group of people to their destination.  Virtually all of the drivers and passengers of these 15 passenger vans are unaware of the inherent risks of a dangerous propensity for van rollover accidents resulting in deaths.

The 15 passenger vans manufactured and dangerously designed by Ford and Daimler-Chrysler are inherently defective and have caused serious injuries and deaths.  In particular, the 15 passenger Ford E350 van and Daimler-Chrysler Motor Companies Ram 350 are more likely to rollover than any other 15 passenger vans due to the inherent flawed design of the large van.  When fully loaded the van becomes unstable, causing fishtailing that results in a rollover accident.  Usually the 15 passenger van rolls over, the roof is crushed, seat belts fail and passengers are ejected resulting in serious injuries and deaths.

The 15 passenger van manufacturers know how to manufacture a more stable van which will not fishtail and rollover.  Unfortunately, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler have been extremely slow to respond to plaintiff’s (victim’s) complaints that their 15 passenger vans are susceptible to fishtailing and rolling over.  The corporate automobile manufacturer’s have done little or nothing to protect drivers and passengers of the 15 seat passenger van.  Corporate car manufacturers mentality is that corporate profits and cost-cutting is more important than saving lives.

If you or a loved one is involved in a serious automobile van rollover accident:                                                                  

  • Insist that a report is filed by the Police Department, California Highway Patrol or Sherriff’s Department;
  • Obtain essential information (i.e., name, address, insurance information, vehicle license number and driver license number of any and all persons involved in the accident);
  • Photograph the accident scene as well as all visible injuries;
  • Shut up!  Talk to no one about the accident or your injuries other than your attorney or doctor, never to an insurance adjuster or insurance investigator.  Do not volunteer a statement to any insurance company;
  • Sign absolutely nothing without consulting a lawyer;
  • Seek medical attention immediately and keep a diary of your level of pain;
  • Keep all receipts for all medical expenses and/or funeral bills and wage loss records;
  • Be sure that the van is kept (i.e., “preserve the evidence”) without the vehicle (van) and car presented you have essentially lost your case before a lawyer can even get started.  At least contact a lawyer to recover the van and make arrangements to “preserve the evidence” (i.e., the van);
