Van Safety
Every 13 minutes in the U.S. a person dies from fatal injuries in a motor vehicle crash. Even though there are extensive studies and reviews conducted on the safety of vans, the truth is that no motor vehicle can guarantee that a driver won’t become involved in a collision with another vehicle. In some instances, there is nothing that could have been done on a driver’s part to prevent a van accident.
The reason for this is simply because of countless contributing factors, such as a drunk driver veering into the oncoming lane or winter road conditions. Vans tend to be more challenging to operate than other motor vehicles in certain road conditions, such as when it’s very windy, pouring rain or icy. Additionally, a van is more likely to rollover in a collision, as opposed to another type of passenger vehicle.
The Aftermath of a Van Accident
Nearly 3 million people sustain injuries in car crashes in the U.S. on an annual basis. If you have been seriously injured in a van accident, you could be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Physical therapy or other rehabilitative treatment
- Medical bills from treatment
- Property damage
- Any lost wages from work that you may have missed as a result of the van accident
- Emotional distress and other personal injury claims that you may be able to pursue
