Thousands of Americans Killed or Seriously Hurt in ATV Accidents Each Year

All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV) are not as safe as you might think – particularly when it comes to minors. Children and teens are at a greater risk for serious injury in an ATV crash. A significant portion of those who are killed or injured in ATV accidents are under the age of 16. Improper safety regulations and a poor understanding of the risks contribute to make ATVs perilous for young passengers.

There are multiple factors that can lead to an ATV wreck. Here are some factors that have caused side-by-side accidents, 4-wheeler accidents, 3-wheeler, Off-Road and other ATV-related collisions:

• Reckless Driving – taking unnecessary risks in an ATV can be fatal
• Faulty ATV mechanical work – if an ATV has been badly maintained or incorrectly repaired
• Powerful ATVs improperly marketed and produced – each ATV should have a good instruction manual that clearly outlines the best use of the ATV
• Manufacturing defect – an example would be an ATV with a higher center of gravity combined with a narrow track, which can cause the vehicle to flip over easily when turning.

What Type of Damage Can an All-Terrain Vehicle Do?

There are many possible scenarios, but the most common injuries include:

• Broken or shattered arms and hands
• Severe damage to arms and legs resulting in amputation
• Spinal cord Injuries
• Brain trauma from head impact
• Paralysis or death as the result of being crushed or pinned to the ground by the vehicle
