ATV Accidents


Thousands of Adults and Children are Killed or Seriously Injured in ATV Accidents Yearly

ATV accidents that result in serious injury or death have significantly increased according to a report published by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, for the eighth year straight. These statistical findings largely blamed the ATV manufacturers and marketers.

 

Among others, Rachel Weintraub, Director of Product Safety for Consumer Federation of America implicated the entire ATV industry for not doing more to prevent ATV accidents. American Academy of Pediatrics President David T. Taylor, Jr., MD joins Weintraub's sentiment. "ATVs continue to kill and seriously injure children at alarming rates...the industry has done nothing to make these dangerous vehicles safer."

 

The CPSC also related some unnerving statistics. More than a 150,000 serious injuries resulted from ATV accidents over the last year. There has been a 37 percent increase in serious all terrain vehicle injuries since 2001. The Consumer Product Safety Commission Weintraub went so far as to suggest that that the new generation of ATVs should be "designed to eliminate hazards." Adding a note of finality to the discussion, researchers at the University of Kentucky published results suggesting that national size guidelines for the all-terrain vehicle were "inadequate to ensure the safety of young riders."


There are many causes of ATV accidents, side-by side (S x S) accidents, and 4-wheeler accidents. Causes include:

  • Reckless driving
  • Faulty ATV mechanical work
  • Heavier, more powerful ATV's being marketed and produced without proper instructions and manuals
  • Manufacturing defect - ATVs having high center of gravity and narrow track width, causing vehicle to flip over easy when being turned (causing a quarter crash roll)


Types of Injuries

In most cases, the types of injuries caused by these of vehicles are severe and permanent. The most common types of personal injuries caused by a side-by-side vehicles, 4-wheeler, 3-wheeler, Off-Road or ATV accident include

  • Broken or crushed arms and hands
  • Amputation of arms and legs
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Brain injuries from head impact
  • Crushing injuries from being pinned to ground resulting in paralysis or death

 

As a result of the severity of the injuries, some manufacturers began issuing warnings - some far too late and totally inappropriate. Some manufacturers send some of their customers warning labels advising their riders that their ATV's and S x S may roll over on uneven terrain or if the vehicles were turned too quick. Other warning labels warned riders and drivers to keep their arms and legs in the vehicle. Yet, other warning stickers told drivers not to drive "too aggressively." The notice failed to include anything about safety precautions regarding use of seat belts, application of a new type of door, or maneuverability issues.

 

If you have been injured by an all terrain vehicle, ATV, or in a 4-wheeler, 3-Wheeler, Off-Road accident, then you need an experienced attorney that can fight for you or your loved one. We will not allow the ATV industry to blame you for the ATV accidents. We explore every potential party and look for all parties who bear some responsibility for the accident.
