Van Accidents

🚐 Legal Representation for Injured Van Accident Victims

Vans are a popular choice for families and small groups, offering space and generally high safety ratings. However, their higher center of gravity makes them more susceptible to rollovers than standard cars. When a van accident occurs due to the negligence of another driver, your best course of action is to consult with an experienced van accident attorney.

Our dedicated legal team successfully wins or settles 98% of our cases. With a certified specialist in personal injury and wrongful death law leading the way, we understand the complexities of these collisions. If you have been injured, contact us to determine the strength of your case and the damages you are entitled to claim.

Common Causes of Van Accidents

Several factors often intersect to cause a van to crash or roll over. Common causes include:

• Driver Error: Mistakes in judgment, such as overcorrecting steering during an emergency or miscalculating the distance of oncoming traffic when turning left.
• Road Departures: If a van leaves the pavement on a rural road, it can easily overturn when hitting soft soil, ditches, or embankments.
• Drowsy Driving: Fatigue significantly impairs reaction time; a driver falling asleep at the wheel is a leading cause of catastrophic control loss.
• Mechanical Failure: Crashes often occur when essential components like brakes, tires, or steering systems fail due to poor maintenance or defects.
• Harsh Weather: Rain, ice, and poor visibility make the already challenging handling of a van even more dangerous.

Types of Injuries Sustained in Van Collisions

Van accidents often involve high-impact forces that result in a wide range of injuries, including:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Damage to brain tissue caused by the head striking an object or the brain hitting the inside of the skull.
• Bone Fractures: The extreme pressure of a collision frequently leads to broken limbs or ribs. A broken rib is particularly dangerous as it can puncture internal organs.
• Whiplash: Common in rear-end collisions, this is caused by the rapid back-and-forth snapping of the neck.
• Facial Trauma: Severe lacerations, dental fractures, and eye damage are common when glass or debris enters the cabin.
• Soft Tissue Damage: Severe sprains, strains, and deep bruising that can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues.

Determining Liability: Who is Responsible?

Liability depends entirely on the root cause of the crash. Lawyers for less will investigate the accident to identify all at-fault parties, which may include:

1. The Driver: If negligence, distraction, or impairment caused the crash.
2. The Vehicle Owner: If a commercial or rental van was not properly maintained.
3. The Manufacturer: If a defective part, such as a tire blowout or brake failure, led to the accident.

Our attorneys will secure the evidence needed to support your claim and aggressively pursue the maximum compensation you deserve for medical bills and lost wages.
