How Safe are Vans?
Approximately every 13 minutes in the U.S., an individual tragically dies from injuries stemming from a motor vehicle crash. Despite the comprehensive safety testing that goes into each and every vehicle before it’s approved to be on the market, there unfortunately is no warranty that a driver will not be involved in an accident during their lifetime. In some accident scenarios, a driver may not even have had the option of preventing a van accident.
There are a great number of factors that can potentially cause a van accident. Some contributing factors may be a drunk driver who swerves into the opposite lane of travel or a vehicle losing control due to slippery road conditions. Due to their design features, vans are more difficult to drive than other vehicles in certain weather conditions, such as when it’s windy, snowy, or icy. Vans also face a higher risk of rolling over in an accident than other motor vehicles.
After a Van Collision
Roughly 3 million drivers, passengers, and pedestrians are injured in vehicle collisions each year around the country. An individual who has been severely injured in a van crash may be able to receive compensation for:
- Rehabilitative treatment, such as physical therapy
- Medical costs
- Damage to one’s property
- Wages that were lost from a job, due to missing work following the crash
- Assorted personal injury claims that an injured party may be able to pursue
