The design of 15-passenger vans is so inherently dangerous that federal law prohibits schools from kindergarten through high school to transport students in them. They pose a significant risk of a vehicle rollover accident due to the unsafe distribution of weight if fully occupied. No commercial driver's license is required to operate them. Fifteen passenger van drivers are almost always inexperienced.

Risks of accident in passenger vans

As with the risk of rollover in an over-weighted truck, a fully occupied passenger van has such an unstable center of gravity that it is three times more likely to rollover than a van with fewer than five occupants, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The research also found that a roof-top load on a 15-passenger van further increases the likelihood of a rollover accident.

While grade schools are barred from using passenger vans, they remain in use with community groups, YMCAs, daycare centers, senior centers and airport shuttles.

Every passenger van accident victim deserves aggressive legal representation.
