Van Conversion

From the founding of our firm in 1988, we have been on the cutting edge of automobile product liability litigation. Every car accident is different and has the potential of being caused not only by driver negligence, but may have also been compounded by a defect in one or both of the vehicles.

Many vans and other vehicles on the road today have been through post-manufacture "conversion." Conversion is a process where a company takes a production vehicle and either adds features and finishes to it, or changes certain aspects of the vehicle look and design. This process must be done carefully to ensure that the crashworthiness of the vehicle is not negatively affected. When conversion is done carelessly, drivers and passengers suffer.

If you or your family members suffered injuries as a result of conversion features of the vehicle, there is a real possibility the conversion was done improperly. Automobile defect cases make up a significant portion of our practice and we have achieved significant success at trial and during litigation. If you believe a van conversion may have caused you or your family members injury, you need an experienced automobile defect lawyer to maximize your recovery. Contact us today.
