Why ATV Accidents Happen

While ATVs are intended for off-road use, they are not immune to accidents, and when they occur, the results can be severe. Common reasons for ATV accidents include the following:

Lack of Experience: New riders often lack the skill to handle an ATV’s unique mechanics and terrain challenges.
No Helmet or Protective Gear: Failing to wear a helmet greatly increases the likelihood of severe head injuries.
Operating Under the Influence: Drugs and alcohol impair judgment, reaction time, and motor skills, making ATV riding extremely dangerous.
Dangerous Maneuvers: Stunts or reckless driving can lead to rollovers and collisions.
Defective Equipment: Poorly maintained or defective ATVs can result in mechanical failures leading to accidents.
Riding with Passengers: Single-use ATVs often cannot safely accommodate multiple riders.

If your accident was caused by another party’s negligence, such as a poorly maintained trail or a defect in the ATV, you may be entitled to pursue compensation.

Serious Injuries from ATV Accidents

ATV accidents often lead to severe, life-altering injuries. Common injuries we see in these cases include the following:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Without a helmet, head injuries can range from concussions to permanent brain damage.
Spinal Cord Injuries: These can result in chronic pain, paralysis, or reduced mobility.
Fractures and Dislocations: The impact of a rollover or collision often leads to broken bones.
Internal Injuries: Damage to organs or internal bleeding can require emergency surgery.
Neck and Back Injuries: Strains, whiplash, and other soft tissue injuries are common.

Recovery from such injuries often requires extensive medical treatments, surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation, which can impose significant financial and emotional burdens on families.

The Importance of an Experienced Lawyer

ATV accident claims can be more complex than traditional car accidents. Factors such as off-road conditions, product liability issues, and state laws regarding ATV use all play a role in determining liability and compensation. Having a knowledgeable attorney by your side ensures these complexities are handled effectively.

At Stroud, Flechas & Dalton, we have the expertise to tackle such challenges head-on, offering personalized legal strategies tailored to your unique case.

Common Causes We Investigate

Not every ATV accident looks the same. Factors that we often examine in our investigations include the following:

Defective Manufacturing or Design Flaws: If your ATV had a design defect, faulty brakes, or other mechanical failure, the manufacturer may be liable.
Unsafe Terrain: Property owners may be held accountable for accidents caused by poorly maintained trails.
Negligent Supervision: When children are involved in ATV accidents, lack of oversight can often contribute to injuries.

We are committed to uncovering the details of your accident to hold the responsible party accountable.
