Clearwater ATV Accident Lawyer

Although all-terrain vehicles, or ATVs, can be fun and entertaining to ride, they pose a number of possible dangers that could lead to serious injuries and even death. There is an even greater risk of injury when children drive these vehicles because they lack the strength and motor skills to handle these ATVs without flipping them. In fact, there were close to 400 reported deaths and 132,000 trips to the emergency room from ATV accidents in 2009 alone.

Injuries from All-Terrain Vehicle Accidents

ATVs have long been linked with rollovers and other accidents that can seriously injure the driver and other passengers. Some of the most common injuries from an ATV accident are:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Concussions
• Neck or back injuries
• Lacerations
• Fractures or dislocations

Safety Tips for ATV Riding

To stay safe while riding an ATV, be sure to abide by the following tips:

• Always wear a helmet and other safety gear
• Never operate an ATV under the influence of alcohol
• Do not let children under the age of 16 operate ATVs
• If you ride alone, make sure you have a communication device like a walkie-talkie or cell phone

Unfortunately, sometimes design defects or manufacturing flaws with an ATV can lead to accidents even for the safest of riders.
