Common Causes of ATV Accidents

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, on average, 568 adults and 144 children die in ATV accidents every year. Since ATVs have a high center of gravity, they roll over easily. Riders can be trapped underneath the quads that weigh up to 600 pounds. ATV accidents can result in major injuries because they lack protection, just like motorcycles.

Some of the factors that may contribute to ATV accidents include:

  • Vehicle defects
  • Negligence of other drivers
  • Riding on paved roads
  • Operating an ATV under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Operating an ATV at an unsafe speed
  • Too many riders on the vehicle

Victims of ATV accidents can suffer serious injuries, including:

Who Is Liable for an ATV Accident?

The liability if an ATV accident depends on the cause or reason for the accident. For example, if the reason for your ATV accident was a defect in the vehicle, then the ATV manufacturer may be liable. However, if the reason for your ATV accident was the negligence of another driver, then the operator may be held liable for your damages. For this reason, it's critical to discuss your case with a lawyer.
