Church Van Rollover Accidents


Of all the different vehicle accidents which occur throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, some of the most deadly wrecks are those which involve church vans. 15 passenger vans are popular with Texas churches and other community organizations, yet if one of them is involved in a traffic collision there is a high risk for severe injuries or even multiple fatalities to occur. Being injured in a crash - or having a loved one that is - can be emotionally trying at the best of times, but the situation can be more difficult when the injuries occurred during a religious outing.

It is important to seek a no fee, no obligation consultation with an experienced personal injury and wrongful death attorney who can provide you with accurate and unbiased information on your legal rights and responsibilities as a passenger who has been injured in a van wreck. Texas law gives you the right to seek compensation for any medical expenses you may have incurred as a result of being injured in an auto accident, as well as seek damages to cover any lost wages. These claims are filed against the negligent party's insurance company, so even if the driver of the van you were riding in was responsible for causing the wreck, you can still make a claim without worrying about damaging your church's finances.

Rollovers Are Extremely Common In Church Van Accidents
One factor shared by multiple vehicle collisions involving church vans as well as accidents where the passenger van was the lone vehicle involved in the wreck, is the propensity for a rollover to occur. Rollovers can be deadly, particular in 15 passenger vans which frequently lack seatbelts which could help prevent injuries in the event of a serious crash. Even if the church or other organization which owns the van claims they do not have the money to invest in the proper safety equipment, that is no excuse. 80% of passenger van accident fatalities are in cases where the van rolled over.

The risk of a rollover is so high, in fact, that federal law prohibits schools from using passenger vans to transport children in grade K-12. Several models of mass-produced vans have also fallen under independent review due to their likelihood to rollover in the event of a wreck.
