Beasley Allen recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family of a girl killed when the 15-passenger van in which she was a passenger crashed. The van became uncontrollable when the tread on a rear tire separated, causing the tire to fail. The real tragedy behind this crash – and others like it – is that federal regulators and auto safety experts have known for years that these vans are unfit to transport people, and yet they continue to be manufactured. The vehicle is, by design, inherently unstable, especially when fully loaded, and many lack basic safety features that are standard on other vehicles.
