15 Passenger Van Accident Attorney

Many sports teams for both high schools and colleges generally use 15 passenger vans when transporting their athletes to a intercollegiate sporting event.  Unfortunately, with the amount of gear and passengers, these vans are often very top-heavy and can easily roll-over.  Some of these 15 passenger vans accidents were so serious that many insurance companies have decided to no longer insure these vans.  These sports teams are now required to use larger transportation or multiple smaller vans to transport their teams to sporting events in and around Los Angeles.  Similar safety issues are also relevant to 12 Passenger Van Accidents.  When 15 passenger van injuries occur, injured persons and their family members should contact a Los Angeles, CA 15 passenger van accident attorney.
