ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) Accidents resulting in injury or death have been rising in recent years. There is still relatively little government regulation of ATV recreational off-road riding, and many believe that age plays a significant role in most ATV accidents. Most young people are not used to handling a vehicle that can go 50 mph and weighs up to a quarter ton. Consequently, young drivers are more than two times as likely to crash their ATVs. ATV Accidents can be caused by reckless driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or operating in unsafe weather conditions. Mechanical Defects and Design Defects are additional common causes of All Terrain Vehicle Accidents. Because of their weight and speed, when ATVs crash or roll over they can cause serious injury to the driver. While some ATV Accident injuries are preventable, they still result in hundreds of broken bones and neck, brain, back, and spinal cord injuries every year. If you have been injured in an ATV Accident due to a mechanical defect or negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the injuries, medical treatment, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering experienced.
