ATV Accidents
ATV Accidents Call for a Strong Legal Advocate Metzger Wickersham Can Help
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving an ATV, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and pain and suffering, among other possible damages. Lawsuits have been filed over deficient safety prevention measures in certain makes and models of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).
ATV injuries can occur when two vehicles collide on a track or course, or they can result from a single vehicle that loses control and crashes. Like the passengers on a motorcycle, ATV passengers should not conduct themselves in a way that distracts the driver or otherwise causes unsafe operation.
Safety Tips to Reduce Risk of ATV Accidents
Important safety tips when using ATVs include:
- Get trained
- Wear a helmet
- Don't allow children on adult ATVs
- Don't ride tandem
- Don't ride on pavement
- Don't Ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Here are steps you should take if you are in an ATV accident:
- Seek medical treatment
- Gather as much information as possible about your accident
- Don't discuss the accident with anyone except for law enforcement officials
- Consult an experienced lawyer
It's important that you contact a lawyer soon after the accident to avoid jeopardizing your legal rights. Turn to Metzger Wickersham.
