15 Passenger Vans
Posted by: euser
December 22, 2008
Fifteen passenger vans are commonly used by schools, day care centers, Scout troops, churches and hotels. All American car makers build a version, and Ford sells the most. There are over 500,000 of them on the road. And they are probably the most dangerous vehicles on the road. Since 1990, over 500 people have been killed or seriously injured in 15 passenger van rollovers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has warned, "The risk of rollover increases dramatically as the number of occupants increases", and found that with ten or more passengers, 85% of the crashes involved a rollover. Unbelievably, the government doesn't require any rollover standards.
While these vehicles are inherently unsafe, they are "safer" with ten passengers or less, wearing seatbelts, seated closer to the front of the vehicle, and with properly inflated tires.
If you or someone close to you has died or been seriously injured in a 15 passenger van rollover, please call me to discuss the potential case.
