These types of accidents are likely to lead to multiple injuries, as vans carry multiple passengers.

Types of Passenger Van AccidentsPassenger van accidents can include:
Unfortunately, passenger vans can be more susceptible to accidents because they have more blind spots than the average passenger vehicle and because these vehicles tend to transport large groups of people which can be distracting for the driver. Vans also have less of a crumple zone and may not have passenger airbags at the sides of the vehicle, the way that passenger cars can. This can lead to even more devastating injuries. It is important that only experienced and qualified drivers are allowed to drive passenger vans.
