What crashes are on Shore Vans's federal record?
A May 22, 2024 crash in NJ is on file — recorded as severe injury, with 3 people injured, and a vehicle towed disabled from the scene.
Why these columns: a crash enters the federal file only when it involved a death, an injury taken for immediate medical care, or a vehicle towed disabled from the scene — the federal reportable-crash threshold. Property-damage-only crashes below that threshold are not in this record.
Who insures Shore Vans vehicles — and for how much?
Liability insurance is the coverage carriers file with federal regulators (the federal category is called "BIPD" — Bodily Injury & Property Damage). The figure below is this carrier's filed limit — a compliance floor, not necessarily the full coverage available.

What these records mean if you were injured
Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and vehicle's logs show in the hours before your crash.
Shore Vans vehicles were inspected 15 times in the past two years — 0.0% of them ended with a vehicle ordered out of service; nationally, about 14.5% of vehicle inspections end that way.
$5M in liability coverage is on file. The federal minimum for passenger carriers is $1.5M–$5M depending on seating capacity.
In New Jersey, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 2 years of the crash.
For the most recent crash on this record, that general window has likely passed. Tolling exceptions can extend expired windows in some circumstances.
There are exceptions — which ones apply to your case is a lawyer's job.
What to do if you were injured in a Shore Vans crash
Federal records document crashes; they don't assign fault — fault is established by investigation, police reports, and litigation.
The carrier named here may not be the only responsible party — brokers, shippers, and manufacturers sit outside this record, each on their own clock.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.
Why timing matters
State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
