Seattle, WA 15-Passenger Van Lawyers, Lawsuits and Mini Bus Settlements in Washington State

seattle passenger van accident attorneyThe passenger van accident attorneys at the Davis Law Group represent seriously injured victims, and the families of those fatally injured in 15 passenger van rollover accidents in Washington state.

Because passenger vans are relatively inexpensive compared to school buses, they have become popular for transporting church groups, school children, the elderly, sports teams and other groups. All three manufacturers of 15-seat vans market their vehicles these types of uses. But these same vans are frequently involved in serious collisions and rollover accidents.

Causes of Passenger Van Accidents in Washington State

Some of the most common causes of accidents involving 15-passenger vans are:
1.  Overloaded vans
2.  Drivers without a commercial driver's license
3.  Vans are designed for cargo, not passengers
4.  Poor handling
5.  High center of gravity
6.  Sharp turns can cause rear tires to slide or fishtail

Passenger Van Rollover Accident Statistics

According to the traffic safety agency, a 15-passenger van that's fully loaded with 15 or more occupants has a rollover risk six times greater than one with fewer than five occupants. The rollover risk is nearly three times greater with 10 to 15 occupants than with fewer than five.

Government statistics indicate that over 1,200 fatal 15 passenger van accidents have occurred since 1990. In one ten year period 860 people died as the result of 15 passenger van accidents, with over 420 of the deaths occurring from single vehicle rollover accidents (no other vehicle was involved in the accident).

Passenger Van Accident Statute of Limitations in Washington State

The "Statute of Limitations" (SOL) is a law that sets a strict time limit on when a legal claim or action may be commenced. After the SOL has expired the legal action (lawsuit) is forever barred. In Washington State the SOL for many types of personal injury cases including passenger van accidents is three (3) years from the date of the accident. However there are exceptions to this time limit depending upon the facts involved.

You should immediately consult with an experienced passenger van accident lawyer to make sure you know when the statute expires in your passenger van accident case. DO NOT WAIT TO CONSULT WITH OR HIRE AN ATTORNEY. Even though your SOL may not expire for a long time, you may still want to promptly hire a passenger van accident attorney to protect or maximize the value of your claim and increase the odds of a favorable outcome.

In many cases the experienced passenger van accident attorney who is hired early in the claims process can help you avoid mistakes that may harm your case and perform work to greatly enhance the value of your claim.
