"The Five Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Florida Accident Case is a must read for anyone that has been injured in a accident in Florida!"

My case was handled courteously and professionally. All of my questions were answered promptly and I never felt anything I was concerned about was un-important. Judi always had answers and took the time to explain. She was always on top of my case when I called the office.

I really appreciated the fact that Mr. Dodson hired a professional expert to measure and make an evaluation about the place where I fell. The whole process was handled very well. Both Judi and Mr. Dodson were very nice and my experience working with them was professional.

I would recommend Jim Dodson to anyone I knew who was in need of a personal injury attorney.

15-Passenger Van Rollover Accidents | NHTSA Recommendations to Reduce the Risk | Florida Car Accident Attorney

It's summer time and more cars are on the roads traveling and transporting large groups. 15-passenger vans are typically used to transport sports teams and college students.

We have blogged about 15-passenger vans and the dangers of rollover accidents in the past, as well as, the risks of fatal injuries from manufacturing defects, lack of seat belt use, proper tire pressure and safe loading requirements.

The NTSA reports 15 passenger vans are 3 times more likely to roll over when loaded with more than 10 passengers.

In 2 crashes in North Carolina and Texas, a teenager and 4 senior citizens died when left rear tires failed, the drivers lost control and the vans rolled over several times.

Check out a list of 12 NHTSA recommendations to help reduce the chances of a rollover accident in 15-passenger vans , an article published in our website online library.

For a survey of state laws for transporting children in 12 or 15-passenger vans provided by a Florida Car Accident attorney, click here for the complete article from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

James please go to my web site www.acfvats.org I have been working with NHTSA public relations firm on the 15 passenger van issue for about 18 months.... My daughter Alexis "Lexie" James was killed in a roll over accident July 17, 2007 almost two years ago... We are going to attend two events this year to inform people of the dangers of these vans, one of them is a large church convention in Atlanta, GA and a state motor fleet convention in Chicago, IL. We have done a study showing the dangers of these vans, aged tires and churches and we presented it to NHTSA and several others in Washington, DC. Give me a call if you would like to talk about what we have been working on.

Thank you,

Patrick JAmes
