Determining Liability in Passenger Van Accidents

Schools, churches, day cares, businesses, hotels, and more all use passenger vans to transport large groups of people at a time. Perhaps unwittingly, the same organizations may put those riders in danger due to the inherent risks of a passenger van. In particular, passenger vans are prone to rollovers and fishtailing around corners, increasing the chance of causing a collision. When a passenger van accident does occur, who is to blame?

Liability in a passenger van collision may belong to multiple parties, including:

• Van driver: The simplest answer when questioning liability is often the right one. In the case of a passenger van accident, the van driver may likely be responsible for the crash. The liability placed on the driver would mean filing a claim against the van’s insurance company, as you had been hurt by another motorist.
• Parent company: When a passenger van accident occurs due to overloading passengers and luggage, the van driver might have been following strict company guidelines to allow so much weight in the vehicle. In such a situation, the parent company could be liable for setting or allowing unsafe standards.
• Van manufacturer: Some passenger vans are dangerous by design, such as one that allows up to four-feet of vehicle to hang beyond the back axle. The van manufacturer could be held accountable for van accidents related to poor design.
