Common ATV Accident Injuries

Victims of ATV accidents can be injured in a number of ways. While some newer models of ATVs have seatbelts, many do not, so ejection from the ATV is a common occurrence in ATV accidents.

The following are common ATV injuries:

• Head Injuries
• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Neck Injuries
• Facial Injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Paralysis

Because ATV riders and passengers can sustain such serious injuries, fatalities are, unfortunately, not uncommon ATV accidents.

Causes of ATV Accidents

Some ATV accidents are caused by riders who are young, inexperienced, or who are operating the ATV in an unsafe manner, such as riding too fast. Other accidents occur when ATV operators consume alcohol. Alcohol impairs a rider's ability to safely operate an ATV. Unfortunately, some people choose to ride ATVs while they are under the influence of alcohol. Since alcohol slows riders' reaction time and impairs their judgment, it is not surprising that alcohol use is found to be a factor in many serious and fatal ATV accidents. Other causes of ATV accidents include malfunction of the ATV or parts used to repair or maintain the ATV, terrain where the ATV was being ridden, and obstacles in the path of the ATV.

Confidential Case Evaluations with Lexington ATV Accident Lawyers!

ATV accidents can be serious and even deadly. Multiple parties may be responsible for the injuries or death caused by an ATV accident. The ATV owner may in some way be responsible, such as having let an inexperienced rider operate the ATV or failing to maintain it in a safe condition. The person who was operating the ATV at the time of the crash may also be fully or partially responsible for the injuries and damages caused by the crash. Other potentially responsible parties, depending upon the circumstances, include the owner of the property where the accident occurred, the manufacturer of the ATV, and companies who manufactured parts used to repair and maintain the ATV.
