    Common causes of ATV accidents

    Many people think ATV riders performing dangerous stunts cause ATV accidents. But in many cases, many all-terrain vehicle accidents often occur because another driver did something reckless or negligent behind the wheel. This is especially true on unpaved roads with speed limits under 35 mph, where ATVs are legally allowed to operate along with other motor vehicles, according to Florida Statute, Chapter 317, Section 0003. Examples include:

    • Aggressive drivers who hit an ATV
    • Distracted drivers who cause an ATV collision
    • Speeding drivers who don’t share the road

    Is this how your ATV accident happened? Or are you dealing with a different situation? Whatever the circumstances of your ATV crash, make sure you fully understand your legal rights. Make sure you talk to a car accident lawyer at our Central Florida law firm as soon as possible.

    Dangers of ATV accidents

    ATVs allow drivers to operate on all types of terrain and even go off-road. But the dangers posed by these vehicles might be more than many people realize. Even the safest riders sometimes get hurt in ATV accidents.

    Many people - especially insurance company investigators - automatically blame ATV riders for causing such crashes. But the reality is many ATV accidents happen for many other reasons. And in many cases, the operators did nothing wrong.

    ATVs often roll over, resulting in serious injuries. These ATV rollover accidents sometimes occur due to manufacturer defects. For example, the ATV may have been designed poorly and prone to tipping over. Another common cause of ATV rollover accidents is unmarked obstacles. Whatever the cause of your crash, we want to help you.

    Common ATV rollover accident injuries

    Injuries caused by ATV accidents can be serious or even deadly. Common ATV rollover accident injuries include:

    • Head injuries
    • Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions
    • Broken bones
    • Spinal cord injuries
    • Hand injuries
    • Leg injuries
    • Bone fractures
    • Nerve damage
    • Fatalities

    What to do after an ATV accident

    If you are involved in an ATV accident, we strongly recommend taking the following steps to protect your safety and your rights.

    • Seek immediate medical attention - If you cannot do so yourself, ask someone else to call 911 and ask them to send an ambulance.
    • Call the police - This is especially important to do if another driver caused your crash.
    • Get the other driver's personal information - If another driver caused your ATV accident, make sure you get the driver's full name, address, phone number and insurance information.
    • Talk to witnesses - If someone saw your ATV accident, get their full name, address and phone number so investigators can talk to them later.
    • Take pictures of your accident - Evidence builds strong cases. The more information you have to support your case, the stronger your claim.
    • Call your insurance company - Tell them you've been in an ATV accident, but keep your comments to a minimum. Anything you say could potentially be used to deny your insurance claim.
    • Contact our law firm - We can help you every step of the way after your ATV accident.
